Yeah, mine has an ABS problem as well lol, I'm probably gonna rip mine out and fit a bias valve from a non abs model rather than try and fix it!

The person before me had cut the block connector off the back of the dash light so I had to source a new loom secton :( I haven't fitted it yet, but I have a fault code come up saying wrong ABS coding! Tried a few different codes as mine is on the crossover year but still nothing. Swiped a different ABS ECU from a VR as well, but I haven't had time to try it yet. MOT aunt until June so plenty of time yet :)

That's horse sh*t, the last owner of mine was a bit more forgiving and just took the fuse out lol. Yh you also gotta get it running right before you think about stopping it  :laugh:
