Hello

I have just bought my Discovery, a 1995 Tdi ES auto. I'm really pleased with it so far, 1 week, but I do have the ABS warning light on. The car had stood for a while before I bought it last week. I took some advice from a previous thread and did the fault check with the paper clip and it has told me that I have a front right sensor problem, air lock or poor connection.

I've read about removing, cleaning and tapping these sensors but I am possibly the least mechanically minded person on this forum and could really do with some advice on locating sensor etc etc.

Hope I can sort this as I love the car..

Thanks

Lee

Sorry. I cant help. But I'm sure there must be something if you do a "search" on the forum.

Well whatever it was FF I'm deeply sorry........ Now, do you know anything about reseating an ABS sensor ??? This "tap" I'm supposed to give it, is it with a sledge hammer or a toffee hammer and whereabouts ???

Cheers

Had the same problem awhile ago turned out to be a duff relay to the warning light. (it's the one you remove to get the codes) if you still have problems try pushing the ABS sensors as far in as they will go.

If you search the site you will find previous posts giving you resistanace and voltages from the sensors to check

Good luck

Sam
