Bet you get a crank sensor code

Personally, (if Entwood does not mind) i would drop him a PM, he is in your area. He has software to read codes, and belongs to ABS as gets cheap prices at Vx. Its an easy fix too!

Few beer vouchers his way, and you know the job has been done right!

More than happy to help .. PM's sent ..

SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT REVOLUTIONS Y26SE, X30XE, Y32SE 90540743

If so I have an unused spare we can compare with ...

as for price .. I can't help Sad
