The light only switches off for three starts then comes back on. We've solved it today. A Chinese replacement stepper motor was the problem, I put the old motor back with the new linkage and the fault disappeared.

Hello Adam, Sorry to hear of your plight. A couple of points as I see it:- ‘…tyres almost worn to the limit…..’. It used to be that car retailers had to ensure any (non-trade) vehicles retailed had to have a minimum of 3 mm of tread remaining at the point of sale. Still is? If it had been mine, once the locking wheel bolt became over difficult to remove, then I would have returned the vehicle to the retailer under the 90 day warranty, and requested that they remove the locking wheel bolts. If they ( the retail dealer?) have pointed you to a specialist, then why not entrust the car back to the dealer, and request they arrange with the specialist. I’m not sure why you should feel wary of the recommended specialist -? Mc.Gard? Well proven supplier. Why not look up their contact details and give them a ring? Alternative:- it wouldn’t surprise me that the specialist would be well versed in the availability of replacements. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on Adam. Kind regards, Gareth.
