D2 knew I was going to sell!

Hi

My d2 was in today having the ball joint replaced and has come back with abs warning light quickly followed by the other two amigos!

Must have known I was going to sell her as I have my defender arriving tomorrow.

I assume the wheel sensor has been knocked or a wire pulled. I’ll have a look possibly over the weekend and take it from there.

What fun! Posting only to share joy really.

If it went in without a problem and come back with one then I suggest whoever worked on it has caused the problem.
Maybe mention it to them?

Yes. He had to work quite hard to get the ball joint out so likely he knocked it. I need to do a service ready for sale so I will replace the sensor then. Luckily quite cheap part.

Might have damaged it removing bearing as the cable is quite tight to thread through the gap.

Yeah I’ve seen the videos to change the sensor. Doesn’t look like it can be done without removing the hub. I will get a new one and see if obviously damaged.

I would recommend buying a new hub that has the sensor already fitted. The gap between the reluctor ring (inside the hub) and sensor is critical. By all means try a replacement sensor, but be aware that the gap may require some adjustment.

Thanks. That may be easier I guess and not much more in terms of cost. I suppose it will also help the next owner.
