A few months ago my partner sold her little used Hyundai i10 SE petrol manual to my cousin who needed a car that was ULEZ compliant.
The Hyundai had 5,000k on the clock since registered in 2015 and has been garaged and serviced annually by the main dealer.
Since taking over the car, recently she told us that one of the warning lights has come on whilst driving and stays on and this is the ESC light and further investigation by her mechanic friend (who does everything motor-wise for her) says that the computer indicates the car has a faulty Yaw sensor and not to worry about it especially with the type of driving she does.
Following a recent service and positive MOT by this friend/mechanic, he has put a sticky tape disc over the distracting light so as not to worry her and has said that this fault would be several hundred pounds to rectify.
She takes his words on motoring matters as gospel as he's been a mechanic all his life and used to work for major BMW franchises.
Personally, I would not ignore such warning lights and have the car attended to by current professionals and rectified.
Are your views in line with mine or do you agree with the friend?
