It's the rear, driver's side ABS wheel speed sensor; at the moment, the only place I can find it is in the US, about £140, but I have to find someone to post it back here to Blighty. Both errors, ABS and 4WS, both pointed back to the same sensor so I guess that's A. An expensive new sensor, but B. Comfort in knowing that I probably found the issue without breaking into the toolbox.

Just fit a used one from a breaker - that will be fine. They tend to be around £25 so for that price, even if it does fail on you (never had a used one fail on me tbf) you can buy replacements 5 times over before you're out of pocket!

I wished I could find one from a breaker, had no luck whatsoever. There are few people on here that also break them, they've been too busy to find me one from the cars they're breaking.

I guess they don't want our money?? :D

Is the 4g sensor the same as the 5g sensor?

I meant as in, I'm one of the ones that's been too busty to get back to people wanting parts :oops:

Don't know if 5g and 4g are the same, tbf.
Someone like @vanzep or @newkid who have broken both gens should be able to answer?
