Yeah it's the rear steering rack, it does eventually pack in - one of the guys on this forum - Yoshi - used to sell these, but Dave Ellen @ Prolex now sells the TOMS ARS Canceller - basically it's a metal bar that locks the rear steering in place so it doesn't work and a little gizmo that plugs into the sensor that fools the system into working and gets rid of the light.

At least I think that's about right.

It's also supposed to have the advantage of getting rid of that floaty sensation that the rear of the car seems to have at higher speeds.

I've only ever seen the light come on once which was when I came out of those silly multistory car parks with the coiled exists where you just sit going around in circles for ages! I pulled up and restarted the engine and the light disappeared never to be seen again (well apart from when the system initialises at start up!)

Thanks Aido, thats very helpful

What does ARS light on the dash and the air-con control screen mean on a V300 Aristo? Is it Active Rear Steer? What is this please?

I have a V300 Aristo 1996 TT auto and have purchased a HKS Type 1 speed defencer from Fensport. Has anyone got an English wiring diagram? Is the Type 1 correct for this car?

I have a Mk1 GS300 Sport with 275/35/18's on the rear and I'm not getting any wander. I would get the bushes checked out and other general suspension parts like the shocks etc. Maybe get the geometry on the suspension check also.

Thanks for your help Tigerfish. I'll give it a try.
