Right then the latest problem is like one step forward and two backwards.
Having taken my 3.0 in for its MOT it failed on a couple of brake pipes and a broken(!) front coil spring.
So after leaving at the garage to have the problems attended to i get the dreaded phone call , "we have a bit of a problem with the Alfa"
They asked was the abs and vdc light was on before and as it wasnt i said that it wasnt ,they then informed me that it was now.
So now obviously they must have disturbed something as this light and the abs light are on constantly.
The garage man gave the usual "got to take it to Alfa garage mate" statement .
So what could they have done and what is the best way to sort this out as firstly my nearest Alfa garage is about 60 miles away and i also dont feel like spending dealer rates to solve this.
Is there a sensor somewhere around the nearside front suspension that had the work carried out and if this is replaced will the light extinguish itself or will it have to be reset or recalibrated as the garage man said?
I thought things were too quiet on the Alfa front!
