E bay price for a second hand one about £70.

Cheers Del I tried a reader, mine didn't clear the light. I cleaned the sensors too. In the end I took it to a Bosch garage, they found a nsr sensor not working, replaced (£90 from Stratstone) total job £211. all ok now, it could have been worse. If stratstone had told me it was the sensor I would have bought and fitted one. so much for main dealer loyalty. E bay price about £70 ish for a second hand one!!!

Had my car checked by Stratstone as part of the £199 service. They didn't cancel the light (as they were not asked to) as it was not part of the Service. £150 per hour labour charge to check it. or have a look around. I am going to another garage to see if they can, It must be cheaper than their charges. My battery is now reading 12 + volts has been disconnected and re connected , ABS and slip lights still on :-( . Lets see what I can find out tomorrow. I have a reader but it only does the engine boo hoo. Fingers crossed. John T

21/03/14 Battery 11.98 volts? is it worth changing to try that? Ideas, thoughts?? A read 11.87 volts was reported on a thread as below what the cpu needed, he stated a good battery may/should read about 12.5v.

Ok Hope your is a minor issue regards John T

Hi I am going to try recharging/topping up the battery, It has been mentioned that a week battery may/can cause this too. I have my own ABS LIGHT thread and will update it.

HI I have just joined, very interesting things on the site. My S type 2005 has just had the ABS light come on. I have cleaned the sensors with a toothbrush, sprayed the braking area with a jet wash but still have the light on. After reading some bits on here my next try is the battery check. I will update soon. My car is due for a service and check, they may be able to pinpoint the problem if I cant sort it prior to that. We will see. Cheers John t
