Thanks guys, much appreciated!
Still on the lookout for the right car, so we shall see when I get a nice one…

You'#039ll need to replace the ABS pump, had the same issue, the amber steering light is very difficult to go out when you have the solid EPS light on, think I did a 50 mile trip and it randomly went off. I had to replace my ABS pump in the end to resolve the ESP light stuck on issue, once replaced the amber steering light will go out after a full turn to the left then right after 20-

Amber steering light should go out after 20-30 seconds, all the way left all the way right, steering wheel straight and drive a couple of meters in a straight line no more than 20MPH.
I had an issue when my ABS pump needed to be replaced the ESP light was stuck on amber yellow and after disconnecting the battery no matter what I tried the amber steering light would not clear!

Hi all,
I'#039m getting a bird chirping sound when I accelerate very slowly up to 2k rpm. It sounds like it'#039s coming from the right hand side of the car when in the cabin.
It only happens when I have my foot on the accelerator pedal, as soon as I let go, it stops. Doesn'#039t happen if it'#039s just rolling.
The sound is a lot more consistent when turning sharply
