Hi guys,

The sun is out today so I now have no excuse to change the brake pad sensor cable

Before I do anywork that would be a waste of time, can someone tell me which side the rear brake pad sensor is on ? Drivers or passengers ?
The sign has come up on the idrive and apparently the only way to get rid of it is to replace the cable. The brakes do not look worn out!!

Thanks

Adam
