Driving home the other day fairly spirited (not fast) i and the car in front have hit a pot hole 
The following day of use i had started to notice several unwanted noises from the front left side of the car:
So I replaced the drop links and the anti-roll bar and bushes using a cheap mechanic but it turns out it was the calliper that got damaged?
I have taken it to an independant and they said that i need to replace the brass screws that hold the calliper - each screw is about £10 and they checked it would be cheaper doing this than replacing the caliper completely! Has anyone else come across this problem before, ive never had an issue with a calliper before (puzzled).
Whilst there they also said that the ARB bushes were not correct and looked like they had been modified to fit, i have noticed a slight rattling noise at low speed which i guess could be this, again anyone come across this before?
Now, this evening i have had the computer beep at me : it is an orange circle with dots from the 1'o'clock to the 5 o clock position and again from 7 o clock to 11 o clock. No doubt it is from the garage fiddling to see the issues but can anyone tell me what that actually means> /??
thanks - sorry about rambling thread!
