  • I'm kind of a big deal...
I've been fitting my Forge TIP today.  Long story short, I've connected everything up, started the car, and I get the following.  A series of beeps, then a constant ABS light on, and a flashing (!) light.

Anyone know what this is?

Also, what is this black box on the left with the pipes?  It randomly starts clicking for a while, then stops.

The second one is your carbon canister I think and it normally clicks. Can't help with the first one though :s
