Advice sought with ABS sensor change.
I had to change the NSF ABS sensor after the wire got damaged a while ago. As usual, the old sensor fell to pieces so I had to drill out the old one. However, after giving the new sensor a wee sand to aid with fitting, it wont sit flush at the top and doesnt seem to want to go down any further. I dont want to resort to forcing it in or bashing it but not sure how to proceed. Its got about 2-3mm further to go, i assume that if replaced back on the car as is, this would cause further problems. Any suggestions guys?

where did you get the sensor from? is it from DMGRS or a cheap one off ebay? I've had a few off DMGRS and they've always fit perfectly flush. also is it definitely the correct one? i.e. front or rear sensor?

Thanks guys, the sensor that i am trying to fit is a front replaement ordered a wee while ago from Mat at DMGRS.(OEM-Q - SSB000150 - Front ABS Sensor) I cant quite tell if the issue is at the drive shaft end or top end. I'll take another look day aafter tomorrow when Im free again.

Something is stopping it going in! Clean the hole out a bit more and file off the 'lines' on the outside of the sensor.

Hi Gary,
I'd be inclined to go with Trikey's analysis. I have a genuine MGR sensor on one side and an aftermarket on the other and they've both been fine! Simon
