My pack of boots turned up today, pretty good quality too so I booked the retest for Monday. All the boots were holed or split so I done the lot this evening, Monday should yield better results if I can find what's up with the abs, or if anny faults actually return.

Been out and about, MAAAAAD indeed.
There are teething issues though, the o/s trailing arm bearing creates the kind of noise that makes your eye balls itch when going over cattle grids only, crunching when transiting from normal to Max ride height, not a bad job at all, I've got a intermittent intake temp sensor issue and the abs light blinked 12 times over about a minute but recorded every fault its possible for the ECU to flag up. Might be tricky but I can sort that.

Very happy though, running like a clock apart from warm restart issue but that will be sorted in a minute I think, I've got spare temp sensors.

Many and strange ABS faults, all "occurring" in the space of a minute would sound to me like a bad earth or low battery/charging voltage. Hope it's something simple. Good stuff on the pass this time round though, at least you can go on testing runs while fixing the ABS without looking over your shoulder all the time :)
