    Did you reconnect the ABS plug properly?

    Last time I checked Ed I'm pretty sure I was a man

    Might just have knocked it when changing them Ralph, wasn't sure if I removed it when I fitted mine.

    Bit of a mystery then. I wonder if disconecting the battery for "say" half an hour might reset any fault that might have been thrown up. I know with my wifes Vectra B, some times when I drive it and move the seat back the ABS light comes on, but when I press the brake and drive forward the ABS light goes out. ?
    Sounds like we can not fault your workman ship then. You have done the disc mod correctly then.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    A quick trip back to Petes Workshop (Driveway ) solved it.....................

    While the Wheels were off yesterday, I APC'd and cleaned the arches, with Just a Karcher Brush and Hose pipe has I have done for the last 3 Years....... and for some reason...some dirt, water, grit, or micro organism had managed to get in the connectors...so a quick blast of Electrical cleaner in all connectors managed to clear whatever was in there,

    Bit dissapointing as these connectors are exposed to all the elements of normal driving conditions in Rain Mud Snow eTC eTC throughout there life, but it looks like ASDA APC is just to potent

    Cheers Pete
