See post #8 here. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/abs-sensor-removal-275268.html

Yes ! I now want to remove the whole system

Best check on the insurance situation first buddy. Doubt most companies would allow that mod, but a few phonecalls will tell.

So unless the OP has an ES spec disco which is fitted as standard with ABS, why would an insurance company be interested in the removal of an ABS system from a vehicle which its fitted with ABS at a customers request when new.

Its already modified, for what i use it for it really does not need abs and will always be going wrong with it fitted

Then read post #9 in your previous thread, carrying out this work will remove all visible sign of the ABS system having been fitted.

Well, you just wouldnt want to risk it being classed as a modification. If they didnt, no worries. Sort of thing that I would double check before tearing it out!

Piece of **** to remove it.

Rip out the giant lump of useless turd on the passenger side wing.

Make a couple of new hoses, get a t piece for rear caliper split.

Jobs a goodun.

It is actually relatively simple. My abs has been removed. Although I did get a little fancy with the job and replaced every single copper line with braided stainless steel hose.

So no copper hoses or rusty fittings ever again.

But yea simply remove the abs thingy in the n/s wing. You can use the original master cylinder contrary to popular belief, and you'll also need a t-piece to split the rear lines at the axle. Then run the new hoses through the bias valve and to calipers as per this:




All in all its simples. Only made easier if you order a custom brake line set like I did.

If you need to know anything else give me a shout.

keep the abs......the fault you have might still be a simple one to fix, the blink codes should tell exactly whats wrong....
