Back to my ABS light .......The exchange drive-shaft arrived only to find it had no ABS ring on it .??????? There's nothing wrong with my drive-shaft so they took the new one back -thank goodness-.??? I thought the next best step would be to go to the Jaguar dealers and talk to the parts dept so when I ask for a new ring the very nice man said my X type model doesn't have a ring because the sensor works off the front bearing ..."WOW" . Some people said it didnt have ABS on the front they was meaning no ABS ring on the front.?? I thanked him very much and I will have to check the wiring or have it checked a gain to see if I am working on the correct wheel .....Well you never know........??????

I am also very sorry to hear of your loss . Frank

ABS light on so I fitted new sensor only to find the sensor ring was not there at all --next step was to get a new ring i was told there was only one size that fitted all wheels on my Jaguar x type 2002 ----so I ordered and after it came in the post I striped the front drivers side down --Not a easy opp as things where very tight after 12 years --I then found that it was the wrong ring the one I had was for a 4 wheel drive .?????? I then tried another supplier and was told the one I had should be the correct one .???? Next step ring Jaguar Parts they said my Jaguar shouldn't have ABS on the front axle only on the rear ????? after telling them it was just front wheel drive I was told after they done a lot of checking that it has ABS on the front but I couldn't buy just the ring I have to buy the complete --Drive shaft at £456 +vat -- and that should have a ring on it .???? I have since made inquiries and found a part department that can do a recon at £164 + vat but will have to wait for them to get it in ----So I have now put the car back together so I can use it ---One thing though it should come to bit easier next time .???? Frank

Its the getting into it Peter and I don't fancy taking the head lining down perhaps never get it back right again then look a mess.??? Knowing my luck I bet its not a fuse or a wire problem Frank

Yes with the X type its at the top of the rear screen , It didn't fail because of it but its nice if everything works .??? O.T.H

I had to put my x type 2002 through its 1st M.O.T with me owning it and I had to have some welding done to the sills + a bush on the rear . The hand brake was a bit suspect as it comes up a long way but it passed . I now have only one advisery on the M.O.T and that is the eye level stop light in the rear window dos'nt work .????? How do you put a bulb in there without taking the headlineing down .???? :( O.T.H
