I used T harness, but ended up modifying due lack of space. By passed some connectors. Started like this: Ended up like this: No messing with fuse box.

Friend/customer saw a Zed, wanted advice whether to buy........asked if they are reliable :) Bit like like asking, i'm going to marry this girl....what do you think....when you know her history.. Well i said if you are into DIY fixing be OK. If not walk away..

Fitted new front discs and pads. So new all around now. Then a few days later had EBC failure warning come up with amber brake warning. Why, i don't know, gone on restart. Pushing the piston in might have disturbed or pushed bubble into abs unit? Was going to run the abs bleed from code reader...
