Traction control issue after new shocks fitted
Discussion
So before I get grumpy with my mechanic wanted to check the vast PH knowledge bank for advice
Last week had the rear shocks replaced on my 9-5 Estate. Used all week but only short journeys. Tonight whilst driving had the warning noise go off and 3 warning lights appear on the dash. 1 was the traction control light, didnt catch the what the other ones were before they turned off but T/C one has stayed on.
On getting home did the home mechanic thing of switching the engine off and back on. Yeah its gone.....I am a geni....damn its back on. Looking at the handbook dosent really help so possibly any link between the shocks and the fault ? Obviously without knowing the fault code its a bit vague but any advice welcome. Thanks

First time I have used the car over Xmas / New year was yesterday taking my lad back to his Army base it Tidworth, which for me is a 350 round trip.
Weather was lashing it down the entire way there, stopped on M40 services, on restarting T/C warning light binged back on....and this time he brought his mates, ABS / Handbrake / Stop. Turned on and off and they had gone again. FFS. Re joined motorway, 5 mins later all lights back on....followed by the speedo / rev counter dying. Caused a bit of panic I must admit but car was running fine ? All linked ??
Got to Tidworth an hour later and parked up for a couple of hours before returning home. Everything now back to normal including speedo for the entire trip back ? Odd. Booked in for this week but wasnt the most pleasant trip
