   Hi i have just bought my first VTS and there is a orange warning light that has a car and looks like it is skidding (an S under each tyre)
   
   
   
   (its the one in the bottom corner if the image works)
   
   can anyone tell me what it is?

   vtr didn't have abs
   
   get it plugged into at a garage that'll give you an idea of which one is at fault. don't forget the check the abs ring before paying out for a sensor.
   
   it could even be crap between the ring and sensor.
