Don't know about the airbag light, but I would think that a fubar'd ABS ECU is the cause of the ABS light & no speedo. Is it a 4 pot? If a 6 cylinder it would have Traction Control & the warning light for that would also be on if a failed ABS ECU.

Shagged ABS ECU.
Can be refurbed for about £150, takes about 5 days. Pig of a job to remove/refit
-
What does abs ecu have to do with the speedo not working aswell? Car is said to drive perfect aswell just these faults?

How long to take off?

speedo gets its signal from the ABS unit.
Remember if the speedo and odometer have not been working, whats its true millage??

ABS provides speed signal to other ecus.
between 4 and 10hrs to remove from experiences here, refit similar. do bear in mind we have diverse membership, with varying skill levels

i saw this too on eBay was put off.
Wrong Elite Alloys for it age, no tax or mot, speedo not working for how long!?!?!
walk away...
-
shows owner does really bother to fix serious issues, so what state is it mechanically in. May be worth a punt, but only for stupid money - v6s have dropped dramatically in price

Alloys dont bother me being different, but know what you mean about how long speedo not been working for, but to be honest its so easy now to get your car clocked back anyway and make it look right with services that half the time you wouldnt know if its true mileage or not. Guy said he is looking for a grand which i thought was ok, what you think???
-
on the other hand it might be a decent motor, but with a huge quote for labour to change ecu.if you can diy and save a lot of cash it might be worth a punt.i wouldnt like to advise how much tho :-/

Alloys are wrong, he has spent money to replace the orginals, but NOT spent money on fixed mechanical issues.
Pay no more than £800.
With no tax and mot, its barley worth that.. V6 facelifts have become almost impossible to sell.

Just wish there was more around to buy then as its what i want but all too expensive
-
what would be a realistic value with the problems sorted ?
if you start there you could think about how much to subtract
-
Daft question this one but would you be causing any damage to car in anyway by driving it with these faults??
-
no abs or speedo,might not harm the car but may well harm you,your wallet and your licence.
