| Cleaning spark plugs | 17 Jun 2007 21:13 GMT | 19 |

I will soon be getting rid of my J reg 318 estate and I want a 320 diesel estate. 330 would be nice but there don't seem to be that many and they are pricey. I understand that the engine changed around 2002 and it is better to get a newer one.

2 years on and still no Pipeline Card, no progress, no negotiations, no discounts! No one seems to want to speak to the organisers. I thought it was too good to be true at the time but loads of people signed

ABS light came on this morning whilst driving and seems to do it when I get up to a certain speed. Discs and pads have recently been replaced and brakes seem to work fine. Any ideas what it could be and is it safe to drive? TIA
