First up, I have read the thread on the 'broken load signal cable from alternator', but I'm a little worried that my problem is not the same.....
As in the fault described in that thread, my traction control / ESP light sometimes comes on after 10 minutes. However, it doesn't come on for every journey, and when it comes on, sometimes it goes away again.
e.g. I drove down to France last week, and it didn't come on once on the way down to Paris. On the way back, it came back on, and then disappeared after an hour or so.
Before I destroy my jacking points / drop the car on my head / thread all the undertray screws etc., is this still likely to be the same problem, as in the thread it uses the phrase 'won't go off until you turn the engine off' which clearly doesn't apply to me?
