Got a problem with the ABS & been a pain ass! Cos the number of teeths on the rings not the same. Drum - 26 teeth & disc - about 32 teeth. That why ABS computer going confused & not braking right. So any way think I going back on to drums for good or make new ring for discs. But can't be ass doing that & have to pay more! Ah well I try. lol

Thanks for edde coming round & been a great help :)

There must be some way round it as the mk2ph2s 1.6s have disc brakes?

The Ph2s don't its the Ph3s that have them, because I haven't got any :(. Although from what I gather its just the same axle as giles already has, i'd imagine the abs system is calibrated differently for the increased number of teeth on the ring.

They can be made up for a price.

Some Phase 2's do.

As you said the axle I do belive is 172 spec just with reconfigured ABS syetm from the factory.

wasted time, such a shame.

look forward to seeing the 172 replica work at FCS giles.

I can still use it but not very far, yeah well it was but I didn't know about those crazy ABS. I'm not going to swap over right now cos my arms is killing me & tired atm.

you going have to wait about 172 things but not sure what I'm doing yet

i think the handbrake light is on because you have changed the cables and so it will need adjusting at the electronic end. ABS rings come with the disks and for new discs and ABS rings it will cos around another £160. taking the ABS fuse out also causes something else which i'm guessing would be illeagal!
 
Take the ABS fuse out? I hate my ABS caused be nothing but problems.

Handbrake light down to the ABS I'm sure being deactivated rarther than as per normal handbrakes/brake fluid level warning. It cannot be electronical be done unless you work for the ABS manurfacturer realy as its embeded chip setups. Its never been done before.

ABS rings are the problem there to many teeth on the disk need custom ring making up else the ABS keep thinking your locking up and the fornt brakes won't work.

Yep sort of illegal its a grey area. It would be an insurance problem.
