Faulty ABS

[paul fernandes]

Hi Mike,
HMMM yeap you may be right if the light is on before you
move..then it sounds like somehting else ...how about
getting a spare from a scrap yard ...
I think allaudi at ..www.allaudi.co.uk/
has a few of these hanging around....I have gotten some
spares from them and I paid a decent price...in the case it
is the box.
