Tempted to buy these and fit some grommets where it needs to clip up if 400mm is long enough - Wabco

From memory, that's not long enough.
I have a spare pair of cheapy ones that I can measure for you when I get home if you like?
 
Just ordered a couple of cheapies for the rears they already sent out the wrong ones last week so don’t bode well will post when fitted and tested
My experience with aftermarket sensors differs from Datatek's, in my experience they have lasted anywhere between 1 month and 6 months a piece. God knows why as there are no moving parts to wear out. They all have ended up going open circuit sooner or later. Its only a magnet and a coil inside.
 
Here’s the old one end looks knacked to me the originals are about £450 a pop

Good post. I dread mine failing. I've had them out a few times but they're original and now 27 years old ... the old ones are the best!
Mine would have still been working fine 22 years later if I hadn't had to destroy them to renew the bloody balljoints after the MOT fail.:( The only thing I can surmise is that the coil windings must break easily on the aftermarket ones if the sensor measures zero ohms with a multimeter - maybe the cheapo coil can't cope with prolonged vibration - there's no excessive current or voltage to burn it out.

Never used a nanocom but why is it reporting vast differences between wheels in wheel speed ?
