The bulb is working, which means there is an ABS fault which has been there for the past 3 years.

not all RRCs have ABS, but the tester should have noticed that it did and that the light was misbehaving.

Mind, depends on what the light does. My sierra has a faulty wheel sensor but the ABS self-test doesn't notice that until it's moving at more than about 10 mph, when the lights come back on - this doesn't happen on the rolling road (too slow) so it passes the MOT even though the ABS doesn't actually work. This, as far as I can tell, is legit.

I hope you've told the in-sewer-ants.

=A3600?? I was looking on Ebay for replacement units (second hand admittedly)..and they're on sale for about =A315!

Incidentally, my ABS "fault" is cleared, did the blink test and it reported the stop light switch was faulty....which I actually replaced about 2 days after I bought it, which was nearly 3 years ago!!
