Unused cable found

scrote · 18-07-2010, 01:37 PM

I have found a green cable hanging inside the offside rear wheel arch. It has been cable-tied up. Anyone have any ideas what it could be for? I know the car used to have AP brakes before I bought it.

Its your brake pad wear sensor. I have AP brakes and mine is tucked away now as the AP's Pads dont have an aperture for it. If yours is back to standard then its worth popping it back in the top of the pad.
