Lets pray they haven't bodged it.

That's the lead for your brake pad sensor. Any pics of the bible that you found in your tyre?

I didn't actually find it, I hit a pothole on my way back from work and created it :P

Lets pray they haven't bodged it.

So next time I get my brakes changed I can just re connect the sensor ? Or isit not as easy as that

Yep...easy as that.

Thanks for the help have a nice day

It looks like someone has circumcised the original connector so not sure if there is anything to connect up for your future brake pad change, as the above pics shows what the connector looks like.

This is what happens when idiots dont do the job properly.

:( there must be a way around this

Can I not get a new wire ?

yes but cost £31 for a repair kit

I'm guessing this has been done to both sides I will have a look and then go from there

No only one sensor for brake pads, if you have no warning lights it probably been turned off, not really worth bothering to fix.
