Brakes will need attention: new pads & disks at front in March so the pad wear indicator now showing must be a rear one, and the ABS sensor wheel has broken from RH front (see picture), which means the ABS waning lamp is on all the time. These are the only faults I know about
I'm intrigued to know what 'legally removed" means. :?

MoT 03/14. figures.

Perhaps GTX's have rear pad wear sensors? Exec's don't.

Anyone sense a hint of organic fertiliser?

he most probs had it removed by accompany.
most claim its legal to do so. :?

ithink its nicely listed. short wording but honest.

ibet most people think its legal to have DPF removed once they've fell for the lies from these company's.

The ABS warning lamp won't be caused by a broken ring, more likely to be the sensor itself.

1) Not all companies are interested in DPF removal, In fact I had to beg the company that did mine to do it off the records and I knew that it was only a matter of time before the limp mode and warning messages were thrown up - thankfully they obliged!

2) I'm sure a broken ring would cause the ABS fault, after all with all the headaches mine said about ABS rear right sensor - some of the advice I was given was, even if the ring was slightly worn it would still throw up said fault.

3) DPF removal was perfectly legal, however new buyer should know that as of next year, any car without a DPF that should have a DPF - will be in big trouble!
