    i've just re-read David Vizards book on engine tuning.... "Not only does an engine need to have a quick warmup time,but also the temperature at which it operates for maximum economy can be substantially different from that for maximun power.Bascicaally,maximun power temperature is around 70deg,(160f)but for maximun economy,the temperature needs to be around 100deg to 105deg (212f to 220f). Another fluid temperature that is important to good fuel economy is oil temperature.this,in fact,needs to be hotter than the water,and 110deg to 115deg (230f to 240f) seems to be about the mark......."

    Since the light came on i personaly find my brakes respond much better to my input,i know exactly what the brakes are doing and no interference by the ABS. I understand the plus point of ABS but surely they have been around long enought not to be costing £500 + from the stealers. 1) Do mot testers test the operation of ABS on the brake test ? 2) Do i have to have ABS ? Now where is my solderind iron to bridge the ABS light to the Airbag light.........
