Title: ...KJ ABS...
Post by: momos on April 27, 2009, 10:50:55 PM: Hi
ABS light came on for about 30 miles then went off, stuck in Walsall all week, is there somewhere local I can take it? Don`t want to risk going home in case it happens again....handbook says brakes will work, only without ABS....
Thanks!!
