Hey everybody
Hope you are doing well ! I just bought a Disco 1 Mpi 2.0 litre ! When I first test drove the vehicle the ABS light turned off normally after a bit of speed was gained ! When I picked up the vehicle though and drove it home the ABS light did not turn off at all. Is this something I shall worry about ? Let me know !
Cheers ! :)
 
Well the ABS warning lamp being illuminated is indicating that there is a electrical issue, either its as simple as a loose/dirty connection some where, faulty rotary coupling below the steering wheel or wheel sensor to a faulty ABS ECU, therefore the brakes will still work but without the anti-lock function.

Thank you so much ! That's what I needed to hear as I was worried about the brakes not functioning properly !
Best Regards
 
Wow..

In the Uk the MPI is very rare last i checked around 40 were still registered as sorn and even less were on the road!
The fact that they are commonly and widely available here in Greece is because of the taxation policies which determine the required tax by the size of the engine meaning that having a V8 is nearly impossible as the tax would be 1500 euros a year. Having a smaller engine is crucial !

And add to this the cost of insurance which is also somewhat based on displacement ! What is the taxation system in the UK ?

It's an MOT fail in the UK for the ABS light to be on. I don't know about Greece though.

The brakes won't fail, but the ABS won't work.
 
If you search the internet, there is a method of interrogating the ABS system and getting a fault code. You short out two terminals (I don't know which ones) on the OBD port and the warning light flashes a number of flashes to indicate the fault.
In normal use the warning light should illuminate on start-up and extinguish when the vehicle reaches 5-10 kmh or thereabouts
