Took it out for a drive ABS light went out before I got to bottom of road :):) Just fingers crossed now for its MOT tomorrow

That’s what I was hoping to hear before I had to go buy a diagnostic tool. Will give it a run tomorrow. I did try it back and forth in workshop but not at any speed

It had been started whilst everything was stripped and disconnected would this make a difference?

I've just finished replacing the steering ball joints and CV on my daughters D2 I also replaced the HUB assembly which came with a new ABS wire. I have just fired up the car but now getting ABS warning light on dash!! Does the new sensor need to be married to ECU?

I’m going have to see about a bigger Torque wrench my one only goes to 295nm and wouldn’t want to use the Torque multiplyer as no way of telling how tight the nut is

Yeah was fun.......NOT!!! Lol I used this kit from Amazon it worked brilliantly had use a bit heat on bottom ball joint to get it moving top one was no problem 21PCS Ball Joint Service Auto Repair Remover Adapter Master Tools Kit Set 450757 And this is the Torque Multiplyer I also got from...

Been replacing drivers side steering ball joints. Getting the ball joints out and in wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going be. It was the Driveshaft nut that was a nightmare ended up buying a Torque Multiplier to get nut off after my breaker bar shattered. Threads on CV have also stripped so...

I've got one but not fitted as it is short and needs some extra wire soldering in to reach the battery. Will be fitting it in a week or so once I have more time as the results do look impressive.

If you removed the seatbox as well then you'd have tons of room. A engine hoist would be best to move the gearbox back and hold it steady also put a support under the stump to stop engine tipping back when you remove the gearbox.

It's possible theres a crack that only becomes obvious due to the thermal expansion of the metal as it gets hot. May also be a bearing being effected and becoming noisy as it gets hot. The old school way to check things would be long screw driver place the blade on certain areas i.e lift...

Try holding hand over exhaust tailpipe to block it (Short time only) whilst someone listens for leak from exhaust system. Also check all air intake connections are also secure could be air being drawn in from a loose intake pipe.

does it go away when you depress the clutch? could be clutch release bearing

Looking good. How has your stainless steel exhaust held up is it still in good condition?
