  1. Well done. Got a 2009 Sovereign 2.7 myself and had exact same but I went down route of removing wheel, liner and bottle. A bit of a faff and took a few hours to move everything out of the way etc. But you wouldn't believe the gunk in there. Filters on outlets completely gunked up. It like a fire engine now!
  2. To find out which one's failed, start up engine, get somebody to sit in car with foot on brake (firmly!) and test front ones in D and rear ones in R. Put your ear over each sensor. You should hear a faint clicking on each if it's working. One that's not is the culprit. If you get a long beep for a few seconds when putting in reverse the it'll be a rear one that gone.
  3. Spent a year tracking similar issues on my 2009 2.7. Did all you did, plus 4 wheel alignments etc. Was driving me crazy. Now fixed. Was very simple and cheap. The two splined washers that hold the brake discs in place on the hubs were rusted when we fitted new discs on fronts I didn't bother to gut new ones. People say they are just loose ones to hold discs in place when you assembling. In desperation to fix I purchased 4 from SNG Barretts and fitted. 2 per front wheel on the 5 studs to 2 studs between 2 and 1 stud between on the other side. Guess what....no more wobble! The discs of course should be clamped fine by the wheel, but even though torqued up nuts correctly, the discs must have been a minute bit off centre without the centering washers. So to me, they are necessary. Also, if you have aftermarket wheels at all that use spigot ring adaptors, make sure the rings don't have a deep chamfer on the internal edges as the hub centres on on these cars are not deep.enough to run through the taper into the centre flush part of the spigot ring. Again, a minute dimension difference as one would expect the studs to centre to the wheel perfectly. Nope, that one caught me out as well until I purchased some cheap Chinese ones with only a small chamfer, and threadlocked into the wheel recess. Love and learn. Now have perfect no wobble car! Good luck.
  4. Hi all, hit a pole hole, parked up, locked car. Noticed driver door did not lock, but then found all below in one go don't work. Had everything apart to try and find loose connectors, broken earth's, chafed wires - to no avail. Been through wiring diagrams and tested black earth's under door card which seem OK and fuse f42 form power line 75 feed to driver door module which is OK. Any ideas? Driving me mad! 1. Neither mirror now power folds, although audibly hear click form relay in drivers door module (plus click off again 10 seconds or so later). Pivots on mirror seem fine and always in operation for 5 years before no issues. Have stripped drivers wing mirror to check and looks and feels fine. No attempt at motor movement by the way on button press, from either mirror. 2. Drivers mirror cannot adjust but passengers does. 3. Puddle and approach lamps on drivers not going on. Others on car fine. Door puddle lamp removed and checked on 12v. OK. 4. Drivers door does not lock or unlock on fob but fine on key (which also does unlock and lock other doors as well fine) 5. Dashboard light for drivers door open or closed works as it should so assume switch in latch OK. 6. Climate system does not start on automatically when starting car where it used to OK. OK when you turn on using touch screen or hit AUTO. 7. Windows all fine round car. Help please before I have to admit defeat and go to the main stealers for diag.
