Thread: ABS Front wheel sensor Softdash Classic

Hi Gavin, James .......

Ive not done anything more than either of you or others (Meccles) on this site have done for me.

Nice to be able to assist ..... yes we are all Landover tragics and I'm in awe of the knowledge and willingness to assist by all who use this site .......

Cheers

Ironically, I now recall that the PO advised me at purchase 3? years ago that the LHF ABS sensor would occasionally (every six months or so) need a gentle tap with a hammer to resume working, so perhaps I should ask if there is still a spare sensor floating, or was it the case you needed both????

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think I need a RH one.... not that I've noticed a wrenched out cable... (wot gave away the LH one...)

Hi Gavin

The chassis still has the RH front sensor and both rear sensors.
I'll earmark them for you as I don't believe I have ABS on my 92 Rangie.....

Funnily enough when I Googled how to remove ABS Sensor ....a site with the best info said there was a spring clip to retain the sensor but I could find anything on either one after using degreaser to clean up the area.

As I couldn't see anything holding it I just pulled and wiggled till it came out ..James photos helped as I knew they were at least 50mm long.

Thanks mate - guess that makes me an Indian giver?

You really don't really need ABS on a Classic, driving within sight of 'sensible'.- the normal vacuum-boosted setup is impressive by itself...

The WABCO Magic Box is a can of worm$, so is the pre$$ure pump/accumulator....

A "Tru-Trac" in the rear axle is safer/reliable than any Traction Control...
