I believe it is a simple procedure ... 6 bolts..... but damned tricky to do !! due to the location and positioning ...

The link I gave at the top explains how to change .. :)

Simple procedure - absolute barsteward!!  Fiddly, lack of room and bl**dy awkward.
I've done one - but don't let the above put you off.  Its a hell of a lot cheaper than the stealers - quoted £1000 for mine!!  Cost £45 for 2nd hand unit (off exact same model & year - important that) - worked a dream.

Just had the local garage fit new discs and pads all round, and since then every now and again the abs and tc lights come on and the speedo stops working. Going to check all the sensors at the weekend hope this stops it. :'( :'( :'(

Chances are they've been ham fisted and damaged a sensor or wiring. I'd chuck it back at them, TBH.

You can read trouble codes from the ABS to identify any sensor it has flagged as faulty. Perhaps you could get them to put a code reader on it FOC? Needs to be a Tech 2 or, if you're lucky, a cheapo.

There is a sensor for the system on the rear wheel/s I believe, probably what they have disturbed...

It had discs and pads all round plus the o/s/r caliper had seized so that had to be replaced. Going to check the sensors if thats not it going to take it back to the garage and give em both barrels ;D ;D ;D
