Check that the abs sensor rings aren't cracked or damaged is the obvious one.

Could well do, especially with it being that low. Pump it up and find out!

just to let you all know.i pumped tyre back up and problem solved as in no esp light on cornering.just goes to show how sensitive the esp must be,now to find out why tyre went so soft so quick. ;)

Hi Sean,

Thats good news. At least you know ESP works OK. Youve probably got a slow puncture.. LOL. See you soon.
