Ordered some ABS reluctor rings from UK Parts Direct as I have developed an issue with the ABS lights coming on whilst cornering, and also occasional grating through the brake pedal.
Still yet to decide if I'm going to tackle the fitment myself or leave it to a local garage.

Default Steering stops, tyre rubbing on wheel arch

V70 Front tyres rubbing on wheel arch. Rack stops on lower wish bone arm worn.
Swapped stops between sides as they are handed and only wear on the lower half.
When swapped the lower half becomes the upper, the unworn upper (now lower half) is now preventing the tyres hitting the wheel arch.

Yesterday, replaced a duff dipped beam on the near side. Hells teeth! What a fiddly balls ache ! About an hour of farting about. Thanks heavens for a telescopic magnet to recover that damned Spring which has a life of its own! My small hands will recover in a week or two I'm told!

Too late for this but always worth searching Youtube for help
