hey folks.. i changed my discs and pads at the weekend, and while replacing the nearside pads disconnected the above(not sure which it is, but i've hopefully pictured it). now, im sure the tiny 2 prongs that i plugged the connector into should have a bit more too it.. am i right?

Can't be certain without checking my own car but it looks like part of the plug has come adrift. It's not uncommon but if you'r lucky and its the same problem reported by another member, the plug is available as a spare part - http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4111&highlight=brake+warning

Yes, Spike is correct - at some point in the past, someone has broken the reciprocal plug off.

If the pins are in decent condition, then the new plug will just slip ringt on them and then push the little purple retainer in to make sure they stay there. If you don't, then the plug won't fit into the socket anyway!

Cheers,

Mike

That's because the post was by a certain ex-member, who took his ball with him when he left!

Below are the salent points (i.e. a photo of said plug, it's part number on the bag and oh, it's about a pound!).

Cheers,

Mike
