Anyone got a nearside ABS sensor or have any idea where I might get one?

Thanks,

James.

P.s, Maybe one of the fair weather drivers on the site could lend me one of theirs till April? Just an idea. :twisted:

Are you sure you need one?

I took my hubs off the other day to remove some unwanted, unloved, unsprung mass sitting behind the brake discs and found moisture had got into the void behind the hub where the sensor and trigger sprocket live.
Even though the car is under five years old there was a fair bit of corrosion and furring up starting in there. Cleaned it all up and sealed it but it looked to have the potential to "gunk up" the sensor and trigger wheel and possibly cause problems getting the correct signal.
Have you checked that possibility?

Thanks for the advice, I haven''t checked that yet. hopefully I'll have time to look at it at the weekend.
The quote for a new one was a characteristically silly as you'd expect from a main dealer. (I forgot to add that it's the nearside front).

Cheers,

James.
