hi guy's driving up the road over the past day or so I've been getting a few faults showing up on the dash:
HDC Not available
EBD Fault
Emergency Broke assist not available
Gearbox fault

I've plugged it in & everything is pointing to an ABS sensor fault, however, Ive recently had 2 front tyres and gone from 285/35/22 to 285/45/22 so I've increased the profile by 10mm, so the 2 front tyres are 285/45/22 & the rears (until I save a little more money) are 285/35/22

Would the tyres cause this fault?

Also, is there 2 or 4 sensors on the late l322's?

Many thanks in advance

ASH

Does this cover ur thoughts , lol

It is in hope that he hasn't shagged the centre Torsen Diff what with the fact that the front and rear propshafts will be travelling at different speeds......no wonder the ABS system threw a wobbler - it is probably thinking 'WTF....why is one half of the car travelling faster than the other half??? Feck it, I give up and I am going to shut down until something sensible is done about this!'

It's little wonder that some tribes eat their young.

I recommend disconnecting those infernal brake sensors altogether.

Lol , the Darwin awards goes to ,

Plus , must find out what tyre company also thought that was ok to fit odd sized tyres , wouldn’t do it to ANY motor let alone a 4x4

Just ........... WOW!
Is it April again?

Dam it this emoji just escaped as it wanted to reply about the tyres , lol

Well that just about covers it I think, you could try let some air out the big round ones to make them more the same diameter as the little round ones for now. There`s no need to thank me it`s what I do somebody once said.

A few cars have different sized tyres front and back.

BUT:

Luckily the OP has seen the error of his ways, and he has put the taller tyres on the Nearside of the RR, so it sits level when he drives in the gutter.

Surely though hydrogen in one set of tyres and oxygen in the other

As I get older I have found that some things deflate far quicker than inflate so thought the op might find it easier to let some air out.

Yes, tractors, lmao , couldn’t resist

Aww be fair guys. No one could possibly understand the implications of such a shrewd "money-saving" move as changing only 1 axle's worth of tyres for a different size.
If the fronts are smaller, the car will always be going downhill and therefore always coasting and therefore must be getting better gas-mileage. Such a man is a genius.
If the rears are smaller than the fronts then the car is always going uphill and the guy will get crap mileage and shag his car in the process. Such a man is a putz.

Lol

Bet the sensors and transmission are having a melt down trying to cope , or 3-2-1 BANG

Tis true....My previous 7'er Bimmer (740i Shadowline Sport) had what they call staggered alloys.
