he appears to need to remove half the engine bay though, if youre saying it literally is unscrewing 6 screws then i`ll give it a go but he`s talking about PAS etc. I dont want to start creating more problems then i`m solving but youre making it sound easier then i thought. Where is this ABS ECU roughly and what does it look like, is it labelled?

lol, thanks but my vocation is medicine, i`m not a mechanic by any stretch and even the author of that appears to be putting people off. I would probably end up disconnecting something that i shouldnt have.

Much rather buy a refurbed one and have some idea if i`m having my trousers pulled down when i head towards my local garage and ask em to switch them over.

if I bought a second hand one from a breakers, how long should i expect a garage to take to change it over for me? Any ideas? I dont know what I`m looking for in the engine bay or where it is? Any annotated pictures anywhere?

Thanks for the help mate

Is the car ok to drive, firstly and secondly if it isnt, it appears refurb is the way forward, any recommendations on who or where?

Thanks for the link but i`m no diy bod and that seems like an inordinately tricky job.

or whether the solution is simple but recently during the heavy rains the ABS and traction control lights came on only to go off arbitrarily, however, on friday both lights came on, stayed on and were accompanied by a speedo that didnt move despite car starting, stopping and running smoothly

Any ideas or help appreciated.

Thanks all in advance.

i havent tried that tbh and if this part is easily available (and cheap) would rather just buy that then risk destroying any thread
