...a 10 year-old can fix it!

The ABS warning lights and messages came on 2 weeks after my MoT, so took it back to Nene Jags to see what's going on, and also to re-adjust my passenger window as it was clouting the rear Quarterlight as it closed.

The window is fine now and they identifed that the OSF ABS sensor had gone Pop. They offered to replace it for £95+VAT parts and £46+vat labour...I declined

Instead I bought a SH sensor off eBay for £28.50 delivered and then asked my 10 year-old Mechanic to swap it out for me:



It took him 10 mins (I had to loosen it at the start and then tweak it tight at the end) and when I started the car, after a couple of minutes I had a Clear dashboard with no warning lights again...

....so now wondering how long that will last!!

If it involved spanners and a ratchet set, he'd up there like a shot!
