The usual first step with AM's is to pull the battery for a few minutes and let the systems reset. If that doesn't work then you may need a new mirror module:

That’s a very sad sight Mark. Hope it’s back soon ..... fixed!

Looks like the rear suspension has collapsed! I assume that’s lowered LBS?

Looks like H&R springs on Bilstiens Sports Pack. I had the same issue with the back being tooooo low, and changed to Velocity AP springs and it sorted it.

The H&R springs are for the early Dynamic Dampers, not hte Billlys

Brake pressure sensor transducer on the servo? Or has that been replaced already?

Not heard of that before.... car is a Feb 17 delivery and I've not had a recall? Only happens when flat out at around 5300 rpm, originally was only doing it in 6th gear, so not very often..... now doing it in 3rd, 4th and 5th as well, but not every time. It just stops accelerating for a second then carries on. Feels like a fuel issue to me, all very strange

Nightmare, I hope it gets resolved quickly for you.

Ahh OK mate - sounds different to the cutting out issue a mate had when gunning it - factory flying tech traced it back to this component (as opposed to 'there's nothing wrong with it sir' on the 5th visit to fix - but RIP that garage...).

Drove into Leeds yesterday. One of the scariest drives in a long while. Ice driving, even with winter tyres, is certainly not fun.

Was it snowing?

Were you the snow plough or do you have an adjustable splitter

What car park is that, the bays look huge?

It's my office car park so more generous than the typical public car park.

That explains it lol.

[mhurley]

Ordered new dashboard binnacle as old one had split
Ordered pair of scuff plates as the old ones were scuffed :-)
Ordered some tire sealant

[DanielAllen]

Took the car to JP Alloys to get the wheel re-diamond cut and fresh powdercoat.
Also took with me some new Michelin PS4S tyres and H&R 11mm spacers to get fitted at the same time.
Excited for next week when i collect!

[Bincenzo]

Mine has been tucked away for winter so today gave it the first run out of the year on brand new Michelin PS4S. Christ, what a difference. Incredibly accomplished tyre in the greasy conditions. Great to be back out on the road though, just need some better weather now.
