I doubt you'd get hold of one unless you're a Peugeot tech. I have it on good authority that it was written by a bloke called Francois :wink:

well now the lights getting dimmer, not noticeable during the day and just barely noticeable at night, the car still hasnt got washed yet and i plan to get the full works as soon as one opens ie a full mot wash, then get the top washed and perhaps a wax. Im hoping a good clean round the brakes will get rid of the salty shite which i thinks turning on the light.

That Autodata comes on 2 cds, so I won't be upsetting the apple cart by mentioning it says there's a modification for over-sensitive brake pad warning lights by soldering in a couple of resistors into a connector... :P

Neither, it's an idiom. Stick "upset the apple cart" in Google.

Autodata speaks of a 130 pin connector (I think, it's on the laptop) but doesn't actually say where it is. If the light's annoying you could always just disconnect the sensor wires until the weather cheers up.

still waiting for a car wash to open that has a ramp, if they were open they would get good trade with motorists looking the salty shite taken off their cars.
