No abs light?????

Please tell me this is nothing major!!!! I bought mt freelander 2.0 di 2000 model at the weekend.I went out last night for 1st time in the dark since owning and half of the dash lights were out.I have today replaced some bulbs the abs been 1 of them but still not lit up???

Does it come on then go off after a few yards or not on at all? There will be three lights together in the bottom left of the dash -i.e. TC, ABS etc.

no it does not come on at all I dont have TC either

Do you have HDC?.

Have you checked all the ABS fuses? and have you checked the ABS ECU under the drivers seat if that is disconnected then none of the HDC, TC or ABS lights will show.

I take it it does actually have ABS (and therefore all the other associated TC/ HDC etc)? Some of the earlier ones didn't as I recall - Up to 1999 - yours could be a late registered one.

Then you've bought one without abs, tc and hdc hence why you don't get the warning lights in the instrument cluster.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Will this effect the performance in the snow?Should I be worried not having it?

braking distance will be shorter and you will have to learn to balance your right foot, meaning you will be driving properly,
