    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    Mine's probably the same as yours then as mine is the same year. If it comes to the crunch and I have to swap it ,if it wont bleed, there's a few on Ebay. Don't reckon you can get a service kit from Wabco anymore. Got it booked in at my local MOT garage for a fluid change this Friday. Did the 4...

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    seems to be a few numbers flying about anr2238, anr2239 and SXC100010 old post from Wammers, god rest his soul :- There appear to be 2 brake modulators available. ANR2238 and ANR2239. Presumably the ANR2239 has 4 wheel traction control capability? Question: is it safe to fit a ANR2239 in...

    Its not the valve discs in the modulator then - mine's a W reg Thor.

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    Yes I'd say it is air in the system as I also get a ticking noise when the abs light is off when I put slight pressure on the brake pedal.

    Tried to bleed the master cylinder/modulator today - cant get any fluid out of the bleed nipples. Tried with ignition off and pressing the pedal.

    I've never changed it during my 6 years of ownership apart from a semi bleed when I fitted new calipers and discs all round about 3 years ago. I've read about the gauze filter becoming blocked in the reservoir - how easy is it to remove the reservoir and flush the filter ?

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    So this morning, started it up and abs & tc lights went out once on the move. Tried creeping along and lights didn't come back on. Stopped and switched engine off and tried again and just abs light on which then went off after speed rose. Tried Kemit's idea and crept both forward and in reverse...

    no joy, it did the self test and both lights stayed on this time instead of going out - I give up.

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    Hi there, yes I've read up on the abs ecu and its functions and diagnostic tests :- https://blackbox-solutions.com/help/SM018.html Must be an intermittent fault then as it comes and goes. Clutching at straws at the moment. The only common factor with lights coming on that I can recall is that...

    Happy New Year. No I haven't reset the brake light switch. I took a trip to the local shop this morning and on the way back from the shop, both lights went out ?? - still needs diagnostics on it as I reckon they might come back on at any time :(

    I've had to stamp on mine just to get them to work since the mot - lights were off then :) . If it wasn't for the fact that it will be an MOT fail next time around I wouldn't bother as it brakes much better with the ABS and TC lights on than the intermittent pedal I get when the lights are off.

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    Yes I agree, which makes me doubt the original diagnosis by the "Landrover specialist" that the new aftermarket sensors were duff and then proceeded to sell me another set of aftermarket ones which may well have been aftermarket by Landrover but they looked identical to the ones I fitted 1st...

    That's very kind of you. mine's a w reg 2000 with Wabco D 4wd TC i'm back to working from home on the 4th, but I could get over to Crewe in my lunch hour. No idea how to send a PM on this forum.

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    To be honest I'm tempted to buy a pair of good 2nd hand genuine Wabco abs sensors and fit them and see what happens - hasn't been right since I had to destroy the original Wabco ones to get the hub carriers off to do the balljoints.

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    The road was dry and I wasn't braking particularly hard. I've been driving the p38 since 2016 in all weathers including snow and ice and I knew the pedal still wasn't right after the 2nd set of sensors. Lo and behold 12 days and just 70 miles covered after 2nd set of sensors being fitted, ABS...

    Abs fault ( the lemon strikes again)

    on my 1990 year mk3 granada - the 1st car with ABS, the pedal pulsates back and forth which gives you reassuring feedback that the ABS has kicked in, whereas on the P38 before the ABS and TC lights came on, the pedal sometime felt normal and then say 100 yards further on felt like something was...
