Not with these brakes :cool:

262mm vented discs at the front, vented discs at the rear (I think, could be solid at the rear). Not forgetting the sexy ABS controller under the bonnet :cool:

I think this is the only Rover I've seen not to have the ABS warning light lit-up on the dash.

Thought that was a legal requirement?

What, to have the ABS light lit up?

rover220 · 1 Mar 2006 at 21:08

i think its a jibe against rovers lol.

ps, i hate abs and they are solids at the rear 238mm iirc??

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 21:18

Yeah they might be... heh that's quite scary. The rears on the GSi are what they used as fronts on the 214. No wonder I made them smoke

After having ABS save me from going over a cliff edge once, I've come to like it. I can always yank the fuse in the winter months though.

I'd keep your ABS on..get all the help you can. In the end it will allow you a little bit of steering control if the **** hits the fan.

Would be interesting up there today! I mean there was a little snow up there when Andy, Si and Myself popped up there on Saturday, but its starting to come down quite strong now!

(Witnessed 3 accidents on the way to work this morning, two involved idiots, too much speed, snow, corners, and sliding! Those two ended up in ditches/fields!)

I love it, made the 3 or 4 empty back roads I use to get to the M6 very very fun! (I was obviously one of the only cars to use the road this morning, as the snow was still fresh).

I know there is no point in cleaning it, it gets filthy again straight away.

L0rdMike · 2 Mar 2006 at 16:29

I was seriously thinking about having some fun in the works car park at 7am this morning but decided not to in the end. Dont want any more dents.

I have had the shift change confirmed and put down in writing now

I am a bit peeved that delivery of my new exhaust was attempted today but I was at work
