Managed to finally fix the abs
, fitted one of the old sensors back on it, and, ahem, plugged the connectors on the fluid resivour on, that seems to of done the job.
i took it for a quick blast, not sure why, but fitting the spec R has made me get even more chatter..................

Just rewired the Alt to Bat + wire, charging at 14v now at idle, was only 13.2 before
Had a good check round it, can't see anything for it to fail mot on, and its going tomorrow for the big test, fingers crossed it doesn;t fail!

She passed!
Emissions took 4 attempts to get down, and there was no HB on the OS, but they fixed that (sticky caliper, shock!)
No advisories or anything, chuffed, just taxed it now too
