Mine's on 15s and I don't need to jack it up either, it's great isn't it, complete contrast to the car which needs jacking on all four wheels to keep it level, and removing the undertray!
Strange about the No. plate lights, my MOT man told me to get mine sorted before I brought it in for the MOT

The hub had been stuck on and no amount of heat / handbrake adjustment etc was freeing it. So I got medieval with the angle grinder:
Now that the hub is off there is nothing obvious and its clear from the new hubs and state of the shoes that the previous owner had at least done some maintenance in the recent past.
I then tried to get the ABS sensor out which resulted in more use of the grinder:
The securing bolt sheared and I’m having real trouble drilling out the remaining bolt (any recommends for decent drill bit appreciated )
The sensors I have are also far smaller than the one I removed - so that’s a new hub and new sensor required.
Good day though - this is exactly why I bought the van; just tinkering and messing about with the tools. All good.

Milwaukee drill hss bits are brilliant, they may cost a bit more then normal but they do the job and don’t dull as quickly as others.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered some on Amazon - should get here by tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.
