    Any insights anyone?

    From memory I had the whiteline rear camber kit installed. Without it the lowered suspension was wearing out the inner side of the rear tyres.

    I'm certain my wasn't a shim, but bolts.

    It's shims in the rear. Bolts for the front.

    For whats it worth Mike, when I purchased a low mileage 05 Convertible with a multitude of neglect the TCS was illuminated all the way back from the ACT. I upgraded ALL of the suspension, driveline etc and then had the alignment. The light was extinguished. I replaced rotors, calipers, pads. TCS light on. Bled the brakes light now OFF.

    I also cleaned every component and replaced dubious sensors with new units. Currently there a no warning lights on and no error codes. I have tested the vehicle and all is ok.

    Is your TCS light still illuminated?

    It seems to be feeling a fair bit more straight after they gave it another go yesterday, and no TC light this morning on the way to work.

    I'll see how I go over the week though and report back. Also will need to call the mechanic to get that print out if they have it.

    Cheers all
