DSC has given up on me

My DSC light came on last week as I joined a the M40 from a slip road. As I have a GTT220 upgrade this is quite normal if the car is driven in a spirited manner.

The DSC light stayed on.

Again this can happen if I try and put too many torques on to road in a session. When I stop and turn the car off and restart, the DSC resets and the light goes off.

But - I've been drving like a nun and the light is always on. It is on as sson as start the car and it is on all the time - and DSC is disengaged permanently.

I'm hoping it is simply the fuse, but has anyone else had this happen?

Not that you lot care (sniff)

But I had the car diagnosed yesterday, seems the DSC pressure sensor has failed.

Am waiting for a replacement.

Saga continues

Took the car back to the dealer today for them to replace the faulty pressure sensor. They phoned to say that they thought that my AP Racing brake kit may be the cause of the DSC failing as the hoses are slightly longer than standard.

I said that I would be suprised if this was the case! They also reported that a top engine mount was leaking and that they would fix this under warranty.

Then they called again and the car now needs a new absolute presure sensor for the inlet manifold and this part is on order. They also mentioned that my rear brakes are badly corroded and need changing, but I'll use this as an opportunity to upgrade to slotted rotors.

Long and short is that I won't be able to get my car back til Saturady morning!

Hopefully it will all be sorted by then.
