The last few times i have washed my car and started it the Glow plug light will flash along with the Traction Control light being on.This will also revert the car to limp mode.....

If i turn the car off and back on...after a few times this stops flashing and all is ok.

Seems to be since i put the suspention in, so was wondering if it is brake related in anyway as the calipers did have to come off...

Water must be getting into a connection and creating a short somewhere if it is only after washing it.

Tiffy, silly question, did you get a full 4 wheel geometry set up done after you lowered it?
