Code reader favour + dark coolant

Hi all

I'm after a wee favour if at all possible - the abs light has turned itself on so I was hoping to get a code reader to see what the problem is. Anyone around the Leith area have one that I could borrow?

There's also been a change in the coolant colour - used to be a vibrant pink and today it's got a lot more murkiness about it. There's no gunk or anything like that though (which I'm taking as good news).

Any help/advice always welcome! Cheers.

Most code readers won't communicate with the ABS ECU, so you'll need to take it to a Lotus dealer for whatever they use. Luckily your handy for one... Other than that, you can do some basic wire continuity checks on the ABS wires ( not uncommon fault - corrosion being the issue) if you have a multimeter.
