Mines started to occasionally have the abs and traction control lights staying on. Needs a service and new pads/discs all round also! 
Unsure what the abs error is. Could be a sensor or possibly wheel bearing!

Ryan you should get it on the RR at Powerstation next month
Not wanted to say yes yet, just incase i am at work. Will know 2 weeks before when my rotor comes through post.
If i do come, ill go down with you.
That looks rather good that does 
Soldato
Dammit you've made me want to get the coat of mud off mine now!
Soldato
Mine's as quiet as a mouse...Very important! Though i do find my self muting it a lot, so i can hear he V6 scream like a jet engine
I upgraded my exhaust so there would be at least some sound when not thrashing it.
What did you use to clean the engine bay btw?
Soldato
The best thing going for getting through grease and dirt! Persil washing up liquid and water.
Soldato
Did you hand scrub/wash it all or use a jet wash after protecting certain bits?
Soldato
No never use a jet wash on a engine, whatever some people say. Asking for trouble imo.
Hot water and washing up liquid in a bucket and a microfibre cloth. Don't drench the cloth, only needs to be damp and wipe round everything with a bit of elbow grease.
Jobs a good n.

I just got the garage to supply and fit new mounts when they were fitting the exhaust. JP didn't have any recommendations for mounts when I asked them.
All I remember was they were black. If I had to guess they were Ford OEM mounts.

I spent about £20 on engine bay cleaners and wasn't impressed at all, just left white crap all over the plastics (Think its in the Fiesta ST thread).
Anyway a old man told me to use abit of persil and some hot water and it would work a treat, he wasn't wrong. Also told me to use WD40 on a cloth to refresh any plastics on the exterior.
Persil will not harm anything at all. You ever seen it eat up your 10+ year old metal egg cups or pans?

No but my pans are Stainless Steel and constantly washed, my engine bay bits are not stainless

Hoping you wouldn't pick up on that after I clicked 'submit reply'
Still... You are being over dramatic, it does no harm at all
Soldato
It's knowing where all those vital/exposed bits are though...
I wouldn't put a hose or pressure washer anywhere near my engine bay. It doesn't take much to just use rags and degreaser
