  ABS light has just come up on Almera. I've heard that you can test (without a meter), but, I cannot seem to find instructions online. I presume it may be a sensor. Both rear brakes are slightly binding - an easy fix, but if abs prob is expensive the car may not be worth fixing

  When I reverse (auto box) up an incline I get a distinct creaking sound from the front of the car (but not always on a flat surface).  I thought it might be the front disc pads binding but stabbing the brake doesn't stop the creak.  Could it be the engine mounts or maybe a drive belt
