sport supercharged bandles like a cruise ship .(

hi all , looking for some advice please ,recently bought a 05 sport supercharged and tbh it handles like a blooming sea going oil tanker just wallowing about on corners and very twitchy at speed(I had a full fat rr diesel before this and tbh the handling was 200 %than s thing .(,

So I put my Idd tool onto it and came up with a code in the vehicle dynamic control ,u0126-87 (00) lost communication with steering sensor,

Any ideas ? Tried to lower the whole car down to try make it handle at least like a 100ft boat (dropped my previous rr by20 mm and huge difference ) but it will only let me lower it 3mm? And still sitting high in my eyes.


any advice .thanks in advance

Excuse my ignorance about SC's but does it have the 'Active Stabilisation System' i.e. with the active ant-roll bars?

If it does, then this is what the manual has to say about excessive roll:
Symptom:
Excessive Roll

Causes:
System bleed required
Stabilizer bar bushes
Stabilizer bar
drop-links

The DTC you are getting may not be relevant just because everyone tells me lost comms errors are often spurious. However the suggested action in the manual always seems to be 'check wiring' for these type of FTCs. If you clear the code does it always come back?

I would check the underside of the car to see if any of the drop-links have broken or there are any leaks from the anti-rolll bar actuators as a first step. And then second - have a look at the system reservoir to see if the fluid level is low. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
