Hi Mike,

Thanks, yes, I will have a look at the mounting surface and make sure it is clean. I have to find somewhere that I can do this myself to be sure it is as right as I can get it. Where I am now I can't safely jack up the car so later in the week I will find a solution. I will also confirm the length of the new one is the same as the old one.

The baffling part is that the car NEVER had the rough scraping grinding noise and feel in low speed braking before - only AFTER the new sensor was put in. And now, with the old sensor back in, it is just as smooth as before (going forward, anyway).

Cheers,
Glenn
