Sacrifice a chicken. A white one, in a chalk circle. At midnight. In your pants.

Or maybe what Wurly or Merc said.

I like the significance of white chicken. :lol:
But if all else fails, I shall try this. Haha

So....

Turns out when I changed the brakes and bleed the system the resoirvior I topped up was ABS, not the main.
Spotted and checked the main, it was practically empty. Topped it up and heyyyyyyyyy presto. No problems.

Apart from be being a bit dim under the hood. Haha :facepalm:

Abs reservoir? If it's the small one that's clutch. I'd keep an eye on it as could be a master or slave leaking.

Only ABS light on - 4WS ok

Paper clip test show 4 1 - so looks like the front right speed sensor.

Time to get it out and test it.

You can test them still on the car. The orange plugs are on the inside of the front chassis arms in the engine bay.
Unplug and resistance check them from there.
Be careful to make sure you make good contact with the pins when testing - they can be tricky to get the probes on (holes in the plastic cover over them are very tight).

Thanks for that Wurly - will report back.

Ummm. I'm sure I'm being thick - but I can't find it. The manual talks of a 20 pin connector but I can't find the ABS contol box to disconnect it.
