Tolly going in tomorrow for the dreaded stability control light permantley on scenario :cry:,
dealer tells me it's the ABS Pump, they have talked to SEAT who have agreed to fund 70% of the repair :)
result, car out of warranty with 60k on the clock, not quite 4 years old, I end up stumping up £408 which is cheaper than having a repair done and the cost of removing / replacing the offending bit, doesn't give me much faith in VAG products though, having said that a bit of research and it seems nearly evey manufacturer has a similar problem, or is it bosch, teves et all that have the problem?
any others had a similar experience?
gonna post in altea bit as well.

Yeah, do a couple of these a month. The G201 pressure sensor fails, but as you have found out if you have a full dealer service history the goodwill is usefull. VW have the same problem on MK5 Golf etc.
