Your alarm panel started life as just a coin tray and once open should just pull off.

Behind that you should see the fuse/relay panel.

HOWEVER the ABS control module main fuse is SBF8 (slow blow fuse) in the Main Fuse box under the bonnet..............



And a number of other fuses are involved................

Newage ABS wiring

well, the garage i bought it from had it sent to a "specialist" today, who said the ABS is fine according to the computer! so they are putting new front discs and pads on then we will see if that fixes it tomorrow


i have my doubts tho

they didnt seem interested when i told them its a sticking piston in the caliper

None of the ABS rings were cracked, but one has very slight scoring marks, everything on diagnostics is coming back ok, very strange

Thanks,
Everything was cleaned and put back, the front drives side drive shaft looks like its been replaced at some point, should I change the slightly scored ABS ring and the sensor? Or just leave the system disconnected?
