After reading a thread on here where an ABS module was changed over, I started looking at mine as I have had no speedo, TC or ABS for most of this year.

and the MOT is due in a fortnight  

My ABS unit is as follows;

3.0 MV6 98R

Main body marked as DX
0265220427
9127952

Bosch unit marked 771559
0273004206


2.5 V6 98R

Spare ABS unit marked as DJ
0265220427
90538656

Bosch ABS unit marked 762543
0273004206

removed the battery, 3 multiplugs and base unit next to the battery and the top radiator hose.

Drew a deep breath and started to remove the 6 screws holding the Bosch unit on, was tricky but got there in about 30 mins, swapped teh unit over and put 4   screws back in (didn't put the hard ones in as I may have had to take them out again).

re-assembled, topped up the water, refitted the battery and turned the key.

THE TC AND ABS LIGHTS ONLY WENT OFF   8-)

re-checked all the connections and went for a test drive.

I now have a working speedo, tripp counter, functioning ABS (tested) and TC (tested)

I am a happy bunny

You have been a busy bunny

Good man. Fancy writing a How2?

[Jimbob]

Get it on a tech2 now.
Your TC is programmed for a 2.5 not 3.0, 1 minute to reprogram to correct car.
Well done on the job though!

[Markjay]

Well done! any pictures, per chance...?

You may need variant reprogrammed as set for wrong engine. Tech2 I'm afraid.

Great job, and a happy ending too  

[MartinP]

Good man. Fancy writing a How2?

 There was a general description of how to, on here already, I just followed that.
 
I wasn't on long enough last night to find it and "doff the cap".  
 
(SWMBO was moaning, "you've either been up the garage or on the computer, why don't you sit with me and watch the tele")

[MartinP]

I have tried to include as much info on the units so that if anybody else want's to give it a go they can compare.

[Del Boy]

Well done m8 aren't you lucky

OK found the HOW TO... in the "Maintenance Guides"

I didn't remove


-Engine relay/ ECU box  
-Coolant transfer pipe (thermostat feed pipe) (for clearance)
-Top plenum (optional but easier to locate the transfer pipe properly with it off)
-PAS pipe from top of pump for clearance
-PAS reservoir (ideally but can be moved out of the way, but will stretch pipes.) moved it out of the way & tied it up
 
it was fiddly but can be done with patience  

[MartinP]

So, jobs for TB;

reprogram TC
reprogram gearbox (if poss)

Can't remember what we decided about your g/box being programmable?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Any chance of getting hold of the failed one so I can strip it and try to determine themode of failure....

[MartinP]

Well done! any pictures, per chance...?

If you can imagine... a picture of two oil covered forearms dissappearing into the engine bay as though they had handcuffs on, a thoughtful and sometimes quizzical expression on my face.  

 I don't think any other picture would help really.
