Nice... But that roof box it a bit OTT

A bit of a long winded update from me.

Mum & Dad moved up to Bristol, to be nearer us kids and grandkids just before Christmas.
Then they both got 12 week letters to isolate from the govt and I had to take the car off Dad to stop him driving.
The insurance is up middle of next month.

Yes, The isolate yourselves syndrome. Hope your parents are coping ok with this lockdown. I suppose it’s all for the good.

The car is now with me.

There is a sticker on the drivers side B pillar at the bottom

Interesting

With the failure of Boy #1's FIAT and Mrs Citroen

The car has been pressed into service to get Mrs to work.

She has already lost the wheel bolt adapter thingy.

I take the car over for Dad to see every now and then.

On the way home, it throws the ABS warning light.

Any tips?

Sensor? All pads are reasonably new.

Just to narrow it down a little if your speedo is still working then the offside front sensor will be ok. If you have cruise fitted and it's working then nearside front will be fine and if you seach for abs fault there are a few threads to show how you can test the sensors.

Speedo is working.
It doesn’t have cruise.

Something else to add to my long list of jobs.

If you are going to test them start with the offside rear.
