The dreaded brake failure light

Well it has been happening on and off since I took delivery and research has shown its generally the brushes in the motor sticking. A quick Diagnostic at Vines showed 2v going to the relay where it should be 13v.

I'm booked in to Clarks BMW Birmingham tomorrow to have a new ABS pump fitted ( circa £1100 plus labour) but all under warranty so a freebie

Also going to have the modified cam chain adjuster fitted that has it's own pressured oil supply so that will alleviate the initial chatter on start up

Oh and they are going to see if the upgraded loom to the starter motor has been fitted while it's there.

I have been dealing with Matt and Dan who have been very helpful so far so will report back on the end result.

I have a 90 mile trip in the morning and fog forecast where I live so I hope that will clear once I get out of the Chilterns.

They reckon 5 hours to complete the works so off to Brum central to catch a film and do some Christmas shopping while I wait.

I won't scare you with the scary stories of my 18,000 miles & year ownership of a GT (BMW bought it back off me) but would you be interested in a K1200GT tankbag Jon?
