Shame on the bonnet front, dbo you're more than welcome to have it if you can get it. I was actually in Southampton on Tuesday for work but only solution is strapped to a roof rack I have.

I'll hold onto it for a short while if you do want it. Would seem a waste to cut it up and bin it.

Paul - as for your ABS fault, I've only seen this fixed one way - replacing the main ABS unit in the engine bay. All others have either removed ABS, like me! (Not an easy job) The second option, but not a fix is to simply removed the bulb or wire the bulb up to another light that comes on and goes off when you switch the ignition on. Most MOT testers won't even check for these lights, but you may end up with the guy that does!

Not ideal if you want to retain the ABS for safety reasons, but will get you through the MOT. If you need help getting to the dash lights just shout. There is a how to on here for wiring up a VTEC light, which shows how to remove all the trims to get to them - See the Guides / How to section. :D

Cheers mite take you up on that bonnet if i cant get these last marks out .
Thats a good idea about wiring bulb to another i never thought of that , im changing all the lights at weekend for a blue dash that i hope works as not tested yet so mite try changing abs light then as brakes are still good enough
:D
