Firstly hi to all

my wifes mini developed a fault that has been covered before BUT, the stealer cant tell me what to replace ???
they say the abs module is not talking back to there computer and they think its faulty ?? they cant say for sure if this is the problem !!!!!!!!!!

my abs light is on orange my traction control light is on orange and my run flat indicator is on orange ?? i have no puncture . some time the lights go out but generally they come back on next day ??? i thought living in Scotland the weather ie rain was an issue but this has happened when dry.

My big concern is do i buy another abs module ??
and why is the unit not talkin back to ther computer ??
any ideas
thanks

What is the build date of your MINI?

How can I find out when my MINI was built?

You may have to start there. There is no exact science to troubleshooting a problem. The dealers have the luxury of trying different things as they have parts available but we don't without buying them. I would try what they suggested first.
