No abs/tc, no speedo, maybe probs with power steering usually down to ABS ECU.  Pig to replace - i'll try to post up a link how i recently dealt with this.  There is also a great how-to - i'll try & find that.

Temp gauge/eml - paperclip ot tech2 it for error codes?  Someone more au fait will no doubt advise shortly

Sadly the facelifts can't be paper clipped, it will need a code reader :(

For ABS-ECU repairs contact BBA-Reman on 01634 230055. They repaired mine and returned it on a 5 day turn round for around £120.

I was well pleased with the result and service. Give them a ring and they'll explain what they do

I have no link other than as a very happy customer

:)

I bought a second hand one - ABS ECU - (less than £50), but you have to get it matched exactly to year and model.  Check part nş underneath ecu (either remove or use a torch/mirror).  I was "lucky" - exact match year/model - fitted and cured all issues.

2.5 can be paperclipped to read why EML on.

I have had problems with the speedo etc not working, have you checked all the fuses under the steering wheel, fuse 15 on mine caused this to happen.  Might get the dash working then you can work on the EML  :y

no speedo, ABS and TC is the ABS ECU.

not the easiest job to replace and potentially needs tech2 in order to code it to the car.
A few people have found someone who can recon them and warranty then for reasonable money (£100) bit the fitting and removal is a job you have to do

I am in Epsom, so not that far away, during the week, would be happy to pop down and have a looky and pull the codes off via paperclip

if you need help drop me a message
