Hi All
I have my eye on a 98 2.8 SWB. It's in lovely condition and drives very well. But I have a problem in that the ABS light is on. Here in the UK that is an immediate MOT fail and that expires next week! So if I'm going to buy I need to be able to fix it quickly. The dealer says he 'thinks' its just the sensor. I'm had a good look underneath and the front nearside sensor has been removed and is attached to the brake pipe with a cable tie! Now I've had a look around and apart from new sensors being as available as rocking horse poo, the only place I can find one over here is a main dealer and they want in excess of 450 of your Aussie Dollars! Why are they sooooo expensive?!?
That aside, if I can talk the seller into reducing the price substantially, does anyone have any idea why the sensor isn't in the hole? Are they hard to get in once out? Could something else be broken stopping it going in?
Anything else I should be wary of?
Many thanks for any advice you can give cos I really want this :D:D
