On the subject of brakes, mines a 90spec with ABS. Does the ABS have to be operational for he MOT? My ABS light warning light is not on ive linked it out. During an MOT the car would never lock up to prove the ABS isnt working so they would never know? am i right?

If you ABS light is on then it will probably be a snapped/ broken ABS belt or a microswitch has come out of the housing. There is a topic in here this week/ last week about it.
Don't just take the bulb out as a bodge job, get it fixed or remove the ABS system altogether.

Yeah thats exactly whats happend the micro switch has came out of the housing. It will get fixed, the reason i asked is i have other jobs to do before the MOT and wondering if i can move this job further down my long "job to do" list.

Takes 5 mins to do mate - definately quicker than removing the bulb. The microswitch just pushes back into the housing and should stay in place. I put some silicon around the edge to hold it more firmly to stop it popping out again. Easy fix.

You've found where it goes, but there's a pictorial on here incase anyone else is unsure.

rs shawn cheers for the link to the diagam, looks a basic system. Looks like my problem is the micro switch hanging out as the belts are present and correct.

Rs Shawn :took the plug off of the cap and gave it a bit of a clean up and its stopped the light from interupting my driving, so cheers for the advice on that one. Did have me miffed with the brakefluid at max.
