They are well worth while checking out.

I need to do my ABS as well , same fault code , plus right front wheel.
But that one is because the tooth ring has split in two.

primed painted and sanded this for the rear

You need to square that rear wiper off Andy!!

For me ... got puncture. Got home to hear a hissing noise, and something stuck in the tread. Quick scramble to get the sill jack out to stop the car dropping to the floor on the dead tyre and a block of wood under the subframe and she'll hold until tonight when I can get the wheel up to the garage.

Its a good job I don't need the car today!

It must be puncture season. I've been using the C70 for a few days as 'er indoors Fiesta has expired. 18 years old and 180,000mls. Had it from 6 months old and 1400mls, so doesn't owe us anything. Just bought a '07 Mini Cooper to replace it, picking it up on Monday when the tax starts, hence using the C70. Anyway went to the garage yesterday and a flat front tyre. left it until I got home in the evening and put 'er indoors on the train for work and used the V40 myself.

Culprit was a small nail in the tread, took it to my tyre chappie this morning and had it repaired, drove back to work and then went out to the car at lunchtime and the same tyre was flat again, back to the tyre chappie, first repair still good, but another puncture about 50mm away from the repair.

Both now repaired and all good.
