So fitted my spacers and all good until the second outing. Now i have amber traction control and handbrake light on. Any ideas why? Will read fault codes wben i get home but has the spacers caused an issue? Any help appreciated. :thumbsup:

Hmm seems a bit of a coincidence at least, but never heard of it before

Plug Carly in and see what it says.

On a side note - which spacers did you go for?

ok the fault disappeared but did store a pressure sensor fault so cleared that down and will keep an eye on that, hope it was just a sensor that got disturbed and has sorted itself out.

Will post pics when photobucket stops messing me about :x

It'll be the pressure sensors adjacent to the brake fluid reservoir,,,, just pull pull connectors off individually & run diagnostic again to find out which is faulty

Thanks guys, the car is under a bmw warranty so they will be sorting it if it crops up again.

Great job Rusky. The cars looking very nice :thumbsup:
Did the spacers come supplied with longer bolts or did you have to get them separately?
