No problems at all, the sensors are even supposed to take account of the extra bit stuck out at the back and allow an extra margin.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

But not if you had splashed out on the proper can-bus interface, instead of the relay bypass system.
