ABS light fixed ~ sort of

Post by gumby6371 »

having owned the car since Feb i thought it was time to get the abs light working as it's due for mot next month.
Had the clocks out a while ago and changed all the bulbs so i knew that was ok so i went out yesterday armed with my Hayes.
After about a minute i locked the car and went back in the house.

Abs light only works if you actually have abs fitted to the car !

Feel free to mock, it only took me 4 months to spot

How do the MOT testers know if a car has ABS or not?

The giveaway for me was the big hole in the engine bay where the pump should be. The lack of extra bubbins on the calipers would have been another sign if I'd got that far.
