We took the Astra up to N Norfolk as planned, though almost all of the getting around while there was done on our leccy bikes. The warning lights remained on and the speedo stopped completely; I found it quite disconcerting having to read the car's speed from the satnav.
When we got back, I took it down to the local indie who had a closer look and the problem is, according to them, a failed ABS pump. The cost for sending the unit away for reconditioning, along with refitting etc would be slightly less than half the value of the car - so rightly or wrongly, I decided to have it done. Hopefully, it should be ready early this week.
