for the MOT just put a piece of black insulation tape over the ABS light, I have never had a problem, put loads of Vehicles through like it. :lol:
I know it is a bodge but it works :wink:

If you need to save on garage bills gords let me know have spanners will travel :wink:
TimM:
Quick fix quide from somebody who's relatively useless with a spanner:
Horn does not function - probably wiring/earth, rip it off and fit an air-horn (keep BTM happy and fit a dukes of hazard one)
Parking brake has no reserve travel - tighten it :roll:
Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault - err, i'll pass on that one, but it sounds liek you can already fix it for long enough for the MOT
centre front steering damper seal failed and leaking oil - take it off (it's the fact that it's leakking that failing you) or replace it for £10-£15
Nearside registration lamp not working - bulb?
Power steering component(s) leaking - errrrrrrrrrr - no!
Offside rear shock absorber has negligible damping effect £30 from paddocks - really easy to change the rears
Offside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak - see above
Nearside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - cable ties
Offside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - more cable ties
Nearside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearing
Offside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearing
For both - new bearings, about £10 a piece, and this might help your
ABS problem
Parking brake efficiency below requirements - see above (tighten it).
So nothing there too problamatical, except the steering which would depend on where it is leaking.
So I vote for a FIX IT!

Err, no it won't, as the light comes on with the ignition and goes off at 5MPH!

Got to agree, it looks like a lot, but most of it is easily sorted

Be nice, but musicals are illegal on a post 1.1.73 registration :cry: (or I'd have them myself
Standard mono-tone twin air-horns are only about £12.00

Shockers seem to be available from about £10.00(?) mail order
Don't know about the bearing similarities,but I once used Series 3 wheel-bearings in my old 110Tdi as they were identical (but half the price)
