They probably left something unplugged. I remember when doing my springs the abs needs to be unplugged on all 4 corners so you can get the struts out.

its the rogue mechanics that ruin it for all other mechanics..

Take it back and ask for a partial refund, as really the car was buggered up by them, they should fix it (even it is just re-attaching the abs sensors)

Its retarded they expect them outside, from experience, my L plates melted to the bonnet and boot, or fell off. Tape destroys the paint and those holders only work on the rear on some cars. And even with legal tint, its too dark inside.... Apparently. As you can all tell I'm still pissed at my misfortune. The good news is every officer and receptionist I've explained it to, looking for someone from his branch to contact says I should dispute it hahaha. From their own men and women.
