That's more helpful with what you never implied. So we now have a trained technician above contracting this. And quite a few sites that I seen during my research. Suppose that is the issue with looking on the internet for advise, you never know what I nonsense and what isn't. My issue is sorted and I have no further need for the info. So I'm out

I'm not really concerned either way to be honest. All I know is it's sorted. The fact of the matter remains that wheel alignment can effect ADAS. As was my research. It may have absolutely nothing to do with the reason why mine was needing recalibrate. No way anybody can tell. The fact that you implied it wasn't even possible was interesting. I'm still waiting on that link to that info. So that anybody with a similar issue in future may come across this thread and can then decide the best course of action.

Thanks for that. That is what I read when I looked into it. Was worried when the comment above suggested it was nonsense. Good to have some input from someone who is actually working with this system. Hopefully the info will save someone making the same mistake I did.

Link would help!

And that is exactly what I thought. Until I googled ADAS wheel alignment. And they are correct

the ADAS system needed recalibrated. A few weeks before mine developed a fault, i was getting a tyre fitted in national tyres and they were doing an offer on wheel alignment at the time. Due to type of wear on my tyre, i decided to get this done. Was only an extra £20. Apparently a car with an ADAS system cannot have this done without having the ADAS recalibrated at the same time. The garage said that National Tyres should not have taken on this work without the proper equipment.

It is not a failure at all. Spoke to the test centre about it. Fixed now anyway

Yes. Got it recalibrated for £150.

No luck with that, but thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for that. I will try that and see if it gets rid of the warning. It's going in next Saturday for a recalibration and MOT. Have confirmed with the testing center that the fault is just an advisory.

Ah okay. That won't work then. Not much you can do then.

Buy an old portable CD player and connect the headphone jack to the aux in on the car.

So I had a look at this. There appears to be 3 torx screws that hold this in place. 1 at the top left hand side and two at the bottom. There is a lot of movement in the top screw, where I can move the sensor forward and back about a quarter inch. I assume that is not normal? Also if any body could answer my question about this warning light being an MOT failure? Thanks

This is why I want to inspect it. To see if there is anything obviously wrong with it. It's not been hit as far as I know. It just came on one day while driving in the North of Scotland.

its okay i found some instructions on removing the cover.
