I discovered my brake lights were on constant, it's almost as though the car knew its dreaded MOT was imminent and wanted me to get my hands dirty, I fumbled around the brake pedal looking for the switch before remembering it's located behind the glove box, a fiddly but easy fix and only £11.50 from the Peugeot main dealer, even the storeman gasped in disbelief at the price and double-checked it!
Anyway, fitting it was a bit fiddly but easy enough after removing a small foot protective panel, it just screws into a fixed bracket and a twist rotation secures it.
Next on the dirty hand list was the fitting of new brake pads and discs, easy enough with no rust impediments, I Waxoyled all this stuff from new, I know there are differing opinions about retracting the caliper pistons, but to be on the safe side I opened the bleed nipple to expel fluid into a container while using the proper tool to avoid any back pressure on the ABS modulator ( a very expensive item and not worth risking lots of important beer vouchers on replacement stuff!)
So, after the expected MOT pass, I performed my usual Waxoyl spray routine around all vulnerable underside components, especially the ABS reluctor rings the rear brake backplates and all exposed brake pipes and hoses and anywhere I thought might be looking a wee bit rusty.
Another year's trouble-free motoring (hopefully!)
Benny.
