JimAttrill Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Looks like you've been had. The ABS failed so the PO blacked out the light and flogged it quick. It can cost a lot to fix if it is the ABS modulator - that square aluminium thingy on the left side of the engine compartment. It will fail its MOT without a doubt.

BogMonster Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I agree - you've been diddled. Get it plugged into a computer and be prepared for a nasty surprise on the wrong side of a grand. Somebody somewhere must be able to make a living out of overhauling the modulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Shout if you want a S/H modulator block,I had some bits off a DII yesterday that was being broken - I did notice it was still on and piped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
