75 abs
 
Hi folks, can anybody recommend a Rover 75 ABS expert in the South East? The problem doesn’t seem all that drastic but the mechanics I have tried are totally unfamiliar with 75s.

hello
some thing you could try your self is buy a abs sensor one front one rear then unplug the front drivers side abs sensor then plug in the new sensor then turn on the ignition and see if the abs goes off do each sensor in turn un till the abs light goes off or if you know anyone with a t4 there must be someone on this forum in the london are

Can you give a description of your ABS problems as accurate as you can, obviously there can be many varied problems, but a description can help the good folk on here to provide tests and possible causes or solutions

Grinding, crunching noise, seemingly coming from front offside at low braking speed. New discs and pads all round, new abs sensor on front near side. When driving, abs light comes on occasionally and the noise stops and braking seems smooth. If I remove the abs fuse, no noise but handbrake and abs light remain on. Couple of mechanics looked at it, including the one who replaced the sensor but no joy. Problem stopped at one point for about 6 weeks but then started again.

The trouble is without a proper diagnosis you will be changing parts that don’t need changing!

I think that if it were a bearing, the noise would be there all the time but it disappears when the abs light comes on or the fuse is removed.

I agree, what I need is an expert on 75s who can give a proper diagnosis.
