Been having a bit of a nightmare with the 3 Amigos for a couple of weeks now.
I have had my fr n/s ABS Sensor replaced and all is well for a couple of days and then the ABS/Hill descent and TC Lights illuminate again.
It has been back into the garage but it has just gone again.(4 days this time )
Is it possible that the new sensor was faulty or am I missing something?
The mechanic told me that the electrical plug on the replacement was different.
It is a Y Plate TD5.
Any constructive advice is greatly appreciated.

To be able to give useful advice, you really need to get a fault code reader on it e.g. nanocom/hawkeye and report back what they say.

Without that info, you're really just grasping at straws.

1. it's only one kind of plug on D2 sensors
2. if it was a fault logged on that sensor and a new sensor didnt cure it u may have to replace the whole hub
3. read the fault codes again before u replace other parts... untill then u can drive it without fear

sensors can be tricky to fit properly ,remove new sensor clean hole out and fit without o ring and try it ,as above could be worn wheel bearing ,diagnostic kit wont know if poor sensor or wheel bearing or fitted not in enough
