To replace the front to rear brake pipes. They tried to do it body on but it didn't work so her knickers were raised. Luckily the body bolts came away OK as she had the body off 3 years ago to replace the turbo.

Turbo wasn't a problem as the warranty company paid, plus I got a whole lot of preventative stuff done too. The nuts & bolts were well seized on and wouldn't come off with body off. Thank the gods as might not have come off this time.

Unfortunately no joke, being a Scot I tend not to joke about money.

Money should be....eaten fresh, like fish!!!!
Thats what we say in greece.
But in a serious tone now, i think your car needs some other person to repair it.

I have a good relation with the dealer that's doing it, I trust them. They may not be the cheapest but they do a good job and they've never spun me a line on faults.

I followed this topic because I have the same faults codes. My investigation, with the IIDTOOL so far , shows a little drop when stationary on the left sensors and of course a lots of free wires that needs checking.
But you are talking about body off.
Let's go back to the beginning : do you have the answer for the faults ? Thanks

Basically no. Had a good number of these codes when away in Norway but haven't had any since I returned. At the moment I can live with it, letting the car go to sleep clears it and there is no problem driving with the orange light on. I don't want to throw any more money at it.
