   Failed on:
   
   offside headlamp aim too high and too far to right (should be case of a quick fiddle)
   
   abs light on (apparently needs scan to find out problem, are there any common problems i could check first?)
   
   brake load sensing valve linkage seized (case of un-seizing it with wd40 or something?)
   
   If anyone knows where and how to do any of these things would be great help as can't live without the car for too long lol

   hi! ABS light is more than likely down to a wheel speed sensor.. get it on diagnostic for the full shabang.. chances are with the valve you might need a new one but it can depend on how bad it is.. not 100% sure on that one to be honest

   Another thing, on way to my MOT test centre their is one of those green camera's which my mate says checks for valid MOTs and Tax and stuff, is this true? Because i don't want to get a fine for no MOT since its legal to drive the car if i am taking it to a test station (or thats what the garage told me)
