Well I'm actually in Old Windsor near Runnymede. I say Windsor as people have generally heard of the place (or should of anyway!).

Runnymede was where Magna Carta was signed by King John, in 1215...

I replaced my rear discs last week (and shoes/pads) - whole lot cost £55.00 (free p+p) from Ebay. Job done.

I have my MOT booked for Friday morning, and was wondering, since I cannot sort out my abs problem if I were to take the ABS bulb out of the dash, would I get a pass? Or would I have to wire it up to another light so that it comes on with the ignition and goes out again? Click on Inspection manual ...

I gave up going out on the lash every week when my first child was born. I drank at home but then when I hit 30 the bloody hangovers seemed to get worse with less drink, each year. So now, I rarely drink.

The button could be cruise on/off - not sure what year your car is so I don't know which dash layout to look at.

Ditto! Prefer the cream leather to the black though!

Please feel free to move this topic to wherever it's most appropriate, but... What is the button for (near the immob. keypad) that looks like a volume thing? and, upon changing the reverse lights today, I noticed in the boot is a kind of key lock - any ideas what it is?

Thanks for the welcome!

Update:

Got a kit: Rear brake discs, shoes and pads from Ebay for £55
A 48-tooth ABS ring for £11

So gonna whack all these on (May split the ABS ring and araldite it to hub??) and hope the ABS light goes out. If not, then the bulbs coming out for the MOT....

Hehe....well I would have, nearly a half of the ring was missing!

Hold on, this is on the rear so it's part of the hub :shock: I thought they were all one bit but obviously not.
