    engine warning light

    Yep just unplug the sensor and leave the sensor in if you want. Tape the wire out of the way and make sure it doesn't get dirty then get the fault cleared from the car.

    engine warning light

    You need someone to plug the computer in and see what the fault code is. So long as you coveed up the wires for the second sensor and didn't plug it in it won't be that.

    Trophy 14.5 weeks at the dealers (and counting)

    Why would they keep spare engine looms in stock? The cost is stupid can you imagine trying to sort it out. When they order them they stick an order in as part of the contract they have to deliver to the factory where the cars are built so you've have to sort out the extra spare loom to be picked...

    Trophy 14.5 weeks at the dealers (and counting)

    It will exist just they don't have ay why would they ever need a spare loom. Its not a dodgy repair its probaly a better fix a repaired loom than a new one. Look at it another way when new the car somes with say 1mm of paint (its just a number I know its not that) if you have it resprayed...

    lowering shocks for my car... where from?

    There is a need to change shocks. As for height for when you need you should change them regardless. Shocks are desinged with the springs in mind. Springs and shocks are desinged around each other just sticking stock dampers with aftermarket springs ins't the ideal ride.

    lowering shocks for my car... where from?

    Shocks won't lower a car springs will. Eisback or however you spell it would be my only recomendation but I'd always change springs and shock but price is more.
