    Couple of general questions

    Q1; I received the 3 amigos a few weeks ago, and was looking through the forums about fixing the error.

    First I did the CTR/ALT/DEL thing which worked as well as giving the under body a good high pressure, putting it down a steep hill and using hill descent which all seemed to fix the problem.

    It then came back and dissapeared when I accidently touched the sports mode button? It dosnt come on if sports mode is engaged, but when I forget to do this it comes back on.

    The weirder thing is, (and I maybe imagining it) but, when the amigos come on, the truck seems to be more responsive steering wise, and it is like a magnet is keeping the car stuck to the road which feels really good to drive and handles even better..

    So now I am welcoming when these amigos come on, rather than panicing.

    Are these lights really a bad thing? I am only getting positives from driving this way, but still gets my heart beating faster seeing lights on the dash.

    Q2; I look after all our vehicles, and have gotten a few car park dints/dents that have been pulled out by Mr Dent over the last month. But is crapping me off that they keep happening, even though I try to park in the lagest space possible. Ive got another 4 this week, and was thinking as much as I dont want to put a lift on it, would putting a lift on, stop most sedans from slamming into my panels? Im happy if they want to slam their doors into my side steps though

    People run for years with the amigoe's as company.
    I think in the end it will bite you in the bum,,
    Go back into The Good Oil and read up on diagnosing the problem, you can learn plenty without electronic gizmos.

    as for steering better

    Thanks Pedro,
    The good oil has been a friend to me, and i'll look at more solutions.
    As for the hugging road better, if I was a betting man, I would put money on it that when the lights come on, road traction feels better

    Warning lights can never mean a good thing, and have now got the 4 amigos? Water in fuel filter light.. No water in fuel though.. Am just going to clean the sensor up first and if all else fails, i'll remove it..

    Thanks badlad,
    Mate thats very generous of you! I'll try a few more things first and will get in touch if the problem dosn't go away.

    Better get cracking.
