Title: Renewed my rear disc’s no I have no ABS and light is on ??
Post by: Gerko on 16 November 2008, 17:58

Hi  guys , just put new disks & pads on my anni , all working fine mechanically  wise ,but now my abs light is on all the time and I have no abs :cry:

Also my handbrake light goes off when I take it off but then comes on after about 30 seconds of driving.
Checked fluid levels and there fine.

Tried the MFA reset, no joy.
All worked fine before I renewed anybody any ideas. :wink:

do the rings come off or are they part of the disc?

They are separate to the discs, however it may be easier just to buy new ones, as there is a risk of damaging them when separating them from the disc. They aren't expensive to buy.

I'd buy new at that price, then the job is sorted.
