Thanks for the info. If you need it, just let me know.

I am currently looking for an alternative to the 800 rear ABS Sensors. It will only need to be the actual unit, as the wiring can be spliced in at an appropriate point in the circuit. One of mine borked recently...
Thanks Phil, will do! :mrgreen:

Rear ABS sensors - as you rightly say the plug doesn't matter......... :wink: :D
Cheers,

Yay! Good news! The new rectum-fryer landed this morning (postie must have messed the bed - he was here at 0945!) and was duly fitted this afternoon while the battery charged, i also used my jump pack on first start-up just to give it a bit of a boost but hopefully that's it sorted.

I'll buy the bits to repair the other one and then i can keep it on the shelf as a good one, rather than "it might be ok".

Thanks for all the ofers of help etc! :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

Dave, do you know that these fit? The sensor seems to stick out further that the OE one.
I know you have a Volvo, so am guessing you have investigated already....

You mean the sensor tip Phil?

That's a new Volvo one prior to fitting (on the Volvo recently) and i've just noticed one other subtle difference :

Image

The mounting lug is slightly different, that second pic is the rear view of an 800 rear sensor.

Another option should be a Mk3 Cavalier front sensor, i'll see if i can find any info on those shortly.
Cheers,
Dave

Plus one for a late rear ABS sensor. TGM needs one as the light started to come on after a rear wheel bearing change which I suspect caused it to fail.
