That's a result. Like you say, abs sensors are a mare on the M. 

Glad you're still liking the type s mate.

Meant to update this! Got the ABS fault sorted, was right rear abs sensor. Was supposed to be a 10 min job to remove/fit, only one 10mm bolt! Said bolt was rounded to he'll, so took time to get that out. Then the sensor itself wouldn't come out! In the end had to remove brake caliper, caliper carrier and brake disk so I could hammer the sensor out! What a faff. New one fitted, all back together and abs light now gone!😀

Also had her in for her MOT which she failed. Didn't fail on much tbh, handbrake efficiency, broken o/s/f coil spring. Couple of advisories for o/s/f ARB drop link and a tyre slightly perishing. Got everything done except the tyre as I'm gonna replace all 4 soon anyways so she now has a clean bill of health. 

Still driving nice, and love her to bits!

Nice one. Sounds like the nightmare I had swapping the wheels on the stepwagon before going away.. Was supposed to be quick, but resulted in a snapped wheel stud, and replacing what could well have been the original brake pads given how they almost fell to bits.. Took bloody hours. 

 

Is she back sorted now mate?

Yeah, all sorted and driving amazing. Had been using that E10 unleaded fuel for a bit, but yesterday filled her up with E5 Esso super and the difference is unreal. She normally averages around 44 to 47mpg on that. On the E5, she's showing 53mpg (know that will probs go down a bit)! What got me was acceleration. On our way back from town 50/60mph limit, we got stuck behind a numpty who was slowing down to 26mph for 45mph bends! Gayle was in Foxy, her wee 70 late Micra, and pulled out and passed him on a bit where there's a very short straight. Knowing I'd need to be quick I dropped her into 2nd as normal and went for it. She accelerated so quick I hit the limiter in 2nd and had to quickly change up to 3rd! She doesn't usually accelerate that quick! E5 deffo makes a difference! 

So happy, got a car I always look back at when walking away, which I love the look of, it's quick and cheap as chips to run! All is good in Lexy's world! Bloody love this car!

That E10 is absolute dog turd.. Only e5 goes in ours, especially after it ruined the injectors in Karen's accord. 

It's like a double bonus of super unleaded in top of not being E10 👌
