I've had the same issue for a couple of years now. Fault code is something like : Headlight washer relay open or short to ground. I cant find the relay anywhere, none of the relays in the fuse compartments seem to supply the washers. I think the issue might be with the washers themselves or motors supplying them. I haven't had chance yet to dismantle the front of the car though to test of replace them.

Did you get this fixed? If so which sensor was it? I’ve just started having the same warning appear intermittently.

I had Brembo pads and disks once, and once only. Unfortunately I have to say I was extremely disappointed, and upon replacement, very concerned with their quality. Despite proper bedding in as per Brembo‘s instructions, the disks warped easily with a few thousand miles of having them during normal driving. Secondly, and more worryingly, when I replaced them near the end of the pads life, I noticed the friction material had actually separated from the backing plate on all four pads. They were only held in place by chance and the pressure from the caliper. A mechanic friend of mine has also had similar issues with Brembo in recent years, particularly pads warping. I would never buy standard Brembo stuff again regardless of how cheap it was. I now have EBC pads and disks and haven’t had problems at all, they’re around 60% through their life now.

I know that's what I thought too, but alas no. I do have some slippage downshifting if I'm not careful, and I also have flywheel rattle on engaging the clutch, however its done 82000miles now ! My next one will be a DSG because its lovely and I don't have to worry about the clutch

Don't know if its already been said, but I've fitted EBC front pads and disks on mine and they're brilliant. I chose the slotted disks and yellow-stuff pads, but they do standard ones too. Ive had brembo in the past too, and although they're supposed to be a quality brand I would not recommend at all. I got hideous squeal from them about half way into their life and excessive vibrations (warped disks). When I actually came to replace them, the glue holding the friction material onto the pad backing plate had disintegrated so there friction material just fell off. I was very lucky that it didn't come off when I was driving. As far as the fluid, I change mine at least every two years, sooner if it looks bad (it will become darker). I used ATE last time I think.

Definitely need an upgraded clutch, the OEM one cannot handle the torque. I had a stage 1 done on mine and the supplier put a 'low-torque' version of the full 316bhp map on it. When I questioned this and asked for the full map they refused saying that even the full stage 1 will shred the clutch, and advised I fit an upgraded one. When I have the money that is what I'll do, and the rest of the map can be coded for just 30 mins labour from the supplier.
