replacing rear abs sensor

[danmusic24]

when replacing abs sensor is it ok to just buy the sensor itself or is it worth buying the sensor with the cable.as seen sensors on ebay for 7-8 pound just for sensor and about £22 for sensor and cable...
cheers

buy those sensors if you want to replace em in 6 months time

well im looking at selling the car just needs sensor to pass mot...are they crap then the ebay ones?

[justalex81]

as churchill (the dog) would say "ooooohhhhhh yessss!!!!"

should still pass the mot with the abs light on i think.

[danmusic24]

you sure about that!

Gsf or euro car parts do the rear abs cable for about 14-18 quid.

And abs light on will fail a mot..

not always, as some mot testers will kow that its a common fault and your breaks still work just that the abs wont be kicking in

[danmusic24]

think i might just chuck it in for mot and if it gets picked up than i will replace it,looks a bit of a pain to change as is looks like its welded itself in there.
