Check that the front and rear sensors (if you have rear discs) are sitting in the guides and that the leads are in the little clips. You'll never believe how sensitive the connections are - get someone to watch the dash while you push on the connectors and you'll see. Worts case scenario would be to try a new lead - they are about Ԛ£3 from ecp or bmw.

Use the forum search button above, and search for "220 ohm resistor" and my username. Very, very common problem.
