..........
Not a mini facelift or very early facelift by any chance?
I'm not going to mention that I had this fault for a day about 2 years ago just in case  ....
Mine fixed itself!  :-X

The unit itself is around £300 + VAT, and you would be looking at least the same again to fit it.

There is a "how to" in the maintenance guides on here.

Deffo not a fun job though.
When yours failed, was it on your mini facelift?

Yeah 1998 MV6. Generally the cars affected are VIN range "W10000001" onwards when they modified the ABS system.

Had this fault earlier in the year, cleaned the sensors first off, then the general concensus was the ABS ECU  shagged, still got the fault (who needs a speedo, saves switching the TC off every time you get in the car!)

Well it has been on 184K all this year  ;)


P.S. I will not sell this car, it will be run into the ground until un-ecnomical to maintain, then striped/scrapped

I could take the ABS ECU off my donor car for you if it's the right one, but I've never taken one off before...
