What do people use as an anti seize for ABS sensors?
I'm thinking about the red rubber grease i use on brake pistons as it's not likely to dry out..
RAVE states which sort it should be.

Mind you he has got a pit so no jacking up and wheel off.The condensed version, he's whipping them out to prevent ballache
The last ones on mine were in there for 20 years, the swivels are done so I expect the new ones to be there for 20 years which will see me out.I used white lithium grease cos I've got a big pot of it.
My plan is to whip them out every 6mths or so and clean/regrease to prevent the ballache of them seizing in again.
So it does, shame it did not stop the corrosion.RAVE states which sort it should be.

I have 3 P38's all had the same problem. The Sensors on the one I've had for 12 years were certainly original.Mine were fine. Maybe the grease was better on the '95. Or maybe someone took yours out before and didn't replace the grease.
Funnily my 94 sensors were no problem, perhaps they had been changed but the 98 had one seized and I had to drill it out.Mine were fine. Maybe the grease was better on the '95. Or maybe someone took yours out before and didn't replace the grease.
You are saying the warning lights do not work? Does the clock light come on and the back light for the main light switch?
it's starting to look that way but I really don't want to.Burn it mate.

OK, so if it's only the illumination, You may well be aware of all this but no harm in going over it. If if the clock lights but not the instrument cluster, then it's controlled from the BECM, the dimmer circuit switch on the indicator stalk for example could shut the lights down. Equally it could be a bad earth. I have not yet fully traced the earth path.I'm not saying that at all. Everything on the instrument cluster works as it should aside from the whole thing illuminating. All of the buttons on the dash work, hazard lights, ride height, as well as the clock, but none of the lights on the switches work except for the 4 orange lights for the ride height indicator.

26 years Itl probably turned to a solid lump left in the tin never mind in a hardworking hubYou were lucky too? Well, maybe early cars got more grease.
If the clock illumination works and can be dimmed that rules out the BECM, then there are 3 possibilities, an earth problem, the earth point is behind the right hind kick panel in the front foot well, a broken track in the instrument panel, or a break at splice S210. I would connect an earth wire to pin 7 or 17 of the instrument panel connector if the earth point in the footwell is OK.OK, so if it's only the illumination, You may well be aware of all this but no harm in going over it.

I've never seen 23!! Unless i reset on a hot engine and drive flat and steady!!Filled her up with fuel for a trip of around 300mi with a trailer tomorrow, on my way home from the pumps I got a good figure for a 2.2 ton V8 RR
I'm sure it'll drop to around 14mpg. 290mi from a fill tank of petrol and 150mi from 75litres of LPG.
so 440'ish mi of range hopefully it'll do it without having to top it off..
XJ40 on the trailer to be sold to a bloke up norf £190 on fuel well spent.
Mine drops to 8-11mpg towing a fully laden cattle trailer (3.5) around farm lanes, however on the open road it gets to around 15mpg..I've never seen 23!! Unless i reset on a hot engine and drive flat and steady!!
Towed my mostly empty trailer today, 14.5mpg.. hate to think what it will be like running heavy
Computer on Otto doesn't appear to work - don't know if it is switched off in the system or something duff in the supply side. But judging by fill ups we did and distances he was nudging 20mpg, mostly gently driven but variable running, with the blow gasket making him a 3 litre V6. Looking forward to seeing what he does all working but the flu jab today has wiped us out for the day. Hope for more productive times tomorrow.I've never seen 23!!
