Yea. Undertray helps aero too. I would get some heatproof material and try to protect it a bit.

Ethier that or expansion tank is leaking over it.

Flaming abs ey,mine has been faultless since t shirt sorted it,but last few days it been having a fit,light on ,light off ,light on,pump is kicking in making crazy noises without even touching the brake ,showing fault codes for rear right and left, handbrake light came on once for less than a second, looking like the ecu again,

Any one know what the values should be when testing each sensor with a meter im sure it was something like between 1 and 1.3 kohms is good,can someone confirm this.

Doing my head in now i'm getting scared incase it snows because the brakes are just to dodgey for that  wish i could just sort this! i'm going to try this tip on here and if that dosn't cure it i'm going to buy new everything for it and get it all fitted properly then it should work 

How much is new everything mike  a lot I think .

I did that to my original one then chucked it in the bin.

haha my lids still intact i have just wrecked the lip around it but nothing a good sealant wouldn't cure once i'm happy with the inside it will never be opened again  still not sure it is the problem as the contacts which are suggested to solder all look good and in contact still 

tshirt - can you see a visable defect with the solder if there is a problem when you do it? cheers

You can't really see a dry joint unless you use a magnifying glass. Even then you cant really tell.

You have to test the joints with a meter for resistance to be sure.
