Job is jobbed ..  not quite as simple as Mr Haynes's one liner .. but done nevertheless.

Lights went out instantly on startup, no need for any distance to be traveled at all.

Both ABS and TC tested on a known area of loose-ish gravel/grass/worn tarmac... all seemed to work as expected.

I took some piccies and will do a write up on how I did it shortly ... probably not the "best" way at a guess... but it worked !

  Well done!

Well done, Entwood. Glad it ended successfully. We all tend to presume that any ABS problem is a faulty ECU It ain't necessarliy so.

I bet that's very satisfying!    A cold beer well earned.

Thanks for report of your ABS sensor change adventure. As stated before, after digging mine out I gave up and took the used hub and sensor route - that was 8 years and 90,000 miles ago, so I reckon I have got away with it.

I understand Haynes buys new cars, dismantles them, takes photographs and writes repair manuals. His cars come to bits easily. Our 15 year old relics are trickier to dismantle, and some spares are no longer available. This forum is invaluable for us who keep these excellent luxury cars on the road.
