Re: abs ecu

Well managed to get some prices best was 105 for one side or 280 for both rear wheel bearings and brake pads fitted. Wasnt too bad price wise and at least thatll be one less thing to worry about.

Re: abs ecu

Might go down genuine route first then. Fault code was defo rear left wheel speed sensor no other fault codes were present. Having looked into ecu problems most through up several codes. So hopefully its a duff sensor.

Re: parking brake warning light
