I'll check on the autodata system in my mates work tomorrow and see if it has it while I'm waiting to get the car prepped to fail MOT :(

lol I doubt it, changed the front struts to a set of 51mm ones off an Alpina, never got round to checking the bearings, rumble like the thunder!

brake wear check light has come on too, although I think that's because I chopped the rear cable and forgot to rejoin the loop, tomorrow morning is tinker time:)
