Yeah, and means I can go for a private reg in the future if I want to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 So garage had a road test which went okay. Need 4 wheel alignment with the new rear camber bits and all the suspension shenanigans. Also, dreaded abs light, so that needs sorting before MOT. Went rooting around under tubs to take off the one from there and dropped it off on Saturday, but they fitted it yesterday, and the light was still on. They were going to get it plugged into a reader to pull the code to double check. Looks like I'll need a new one though. I did find the Japan parts ones at micksgarage.com, but they don't seem to list the ones for the rear right. There's one for every other wheel, and then one which is just listed for the rear axle, and doesn't come with the brackets fitted. https://www.micksgarage.com/d/abs-sensors/honda/honda-civic/civic-vi-estate-1998-to-2001/1-8-16v-mc2-169-1797/products I was wondering if it's the same for both sides, but just the brackets are different? In which case it should be OK, and will just need the brackets swapping. I've actually got spares for both front side and the rear left in the garage as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Make sure they are resetting the abs light. As once it's logged code it'll probably stay on regardless of new parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 ABS light should go out automatically once the faulty sensor has been replaced mate. When you first start the car, a signal is sent round the sensors to make sure they are all working, then if they are the abs light goes off. They can be glitchy as hell though! Mine on DD was, it eventually went off after emoving the sensor, plugging back in again. Only other way to reset the light (even though it shouldn't need reset) is to do the ecu reset (disconnect battery etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Well there you go. I'm getting a bit out of touch nowadays. My abs is disabled since I put car back on the road. Find it too intrusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
