    tested under load ?? Bit sus ,,,not the worst battery ive had
    So new battery ,,,,

    It would be good to remember those fault codes before they are erased cos there can be 8 other reasons than SVSs for the 3 amigos even if they are not so common

    agree but was thinking that the faults would be all over the place ,
    I thought clear then if they come back they will be fresh codes ,,,
    will write them down ad see what they are ,,,cheers sierrafery

    Option B would be the most common fault in the D2 ABS/TC/HDC IMO.
    I had my amigos start paying me regular visits not long after purchase.

    Did option B. Have not seen them since and it is now about three years.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    D2 first weeks

    I am only 2 weeks into ownership and have found a few issues, when I picked it up and drove for the first time m and s lights and limp home mode and thought what have I done... Lol. They haven't been back so could have been me. So far just going through normal d2 stuff with injector harness change etc. Will be nice to get it on the road. I sort of knew with mine that some work needed doing so I haven't been spurprised yet

    Probably low battery.
    Check your terminals are clean and tight.
