In what universe? Aggressive? Really? His advice is straight to the point and accurate.

Do you have a Nanocom? It should tell you (incorrectly) which sensor is crook.

Just to throw a spanner in the works:

A little while back the TD5 was let down by my blissfull ignorance, in that driver front bearing had collapsed to total failure. in 40+ years of driving my first ever. I thought I had it pegged as a rear, but turns out I was way of the mark.
TD5 stuck on the side of the road immovable due to failed front bearing. (got trailer, recovered, fixed next day, blah blah) But more importantly no amigos leading up to bearing failure.

I still think right rear is worn too, has a slight noise on left handers. I actually got the rear bearing months ago to replace, but it's not got worse, and there is a ever so slight chance it's tyre anyhow. Very slight, as both rear tyres look as bad as each other and no noise from the rear pass side.

Anyhow, yesterday I got an amigo event too. Pulled up. turned off, checked with nanoncom, yep... right rear came up as signal problem. cleared code, went to move off, amigos straight up. Damned. Checked code, now rear left came up as the code on nanocom. cleared that, all good again the drive home.
I haven't had a visit from amigos for so long, can't remember when ... super rare.

But that front has been worn for so long, didn't just fail suddenly, noisy for a long time(just me being slack and wrong!) .. but no long term faults logged according to nanocom(just those two yesterday one after the other).
