Ok guys, be gentle with me coz i'm a virgin. Does this mean expensive? I know the ABS is the brakes and i'm assuming the TC is traction control. They don't come on all the time, just occasionaly which leads me to believe it may be sensor related or am I wrong? It's already been converted from air suspension to coil.

I'd start with the cheap and work up
First up battery condition and check terminals are tight and good solid ground connections.
Next raise the wheels and check for play as loose wheel bearing will cause fault on the ABS sensor. If there is play it is a new hub I'm afraid.
After that check out the other really helpful threads on the three amigos but I'd plug into a Nanocom first to check the error codes before spending money or time on fixing the shuttle valve.

Just fixed this myself so drop me a line if you need more info.

Thanks Mr Tox. My mate who does the repairs has a diagnostics machine, he's going to sort it out on Monday but if there are any probs i'll certainly be in touch. Thanks.

Just had this put on the diagnostic machine and it came up as an intermittent problem with the front passenger sensor. He said not to worry about it for now but if it lights up again to get it done so i'll just get it done now anyway. Guaranteed it'll raise it's ugly head at Christmas when the MOT is up and leave me skint over chrimbo.

you may need a new wheel hub there...as about the SLS warning, is your car on air suspension or on coils?

then you need to turn off the SLS warning(the one with one arrow up one down)... didnt the guy with the tester do it on his own?
