Hi All,

Can anyone with a canbus dash (post 2003 ish I guess?) do a visual check for me.

I've just realised that my IRD has a speed sensor bolted into it - and my car has a canbus dash so no cables run to the sensor.

Either
a) the 2003 onwards models fitted with speed sensors even though they didn't use them
b) I've had a rebuilt IRD that wasn't in the history when I bought it

Can someone check their 2003 onwards vehicle to see if there's a speed sensor sticking out the top of it?

Ta!

Would have thought the only IRD fitted with a speed sensor would be from a pre 2001 non ABS car, don't have access to my Rave discs to confirm though.

Recently Grumpy Gel enquired about a box-like device bolted to the back of an IRD on a 1.8 FL1. It turned out to be a Vibration damper. Could this be what you're asking about?

Could this be the 2nd thing we've found bolted to IRDs after all this time!

We need a pic. If's not just the breather pipe's come off and what remains looks like a sensor?

I'm pretty sure the ABS sensors are only used by the ABS/TC/HDC puter. The speedo is taken from the gearbox.

No speed sensor on the IRD. Early non ABS vehicle's used a pickup in the gearbox for the speedo. ABS models use either one rear ABS sensor (pre 2001) or an average of all four for later (post 2001)

Hmm... hm.

Maybe It's a blank or something, I'll snap a picture at lunch time when I've dealt with the t**t that just deleted my drivers wing mirror.
People keep jumping out round parked cars when there's no space here, they appear to have learned a lesson though because their A pillar was trashed.
