Hi there. New to this forum as you can see! Anyhow, I have an Irish import '96 Diesel (non turbo) Estate that I have just spent four days welding up. I've fixed about everything that needed doing and just want a bit of advice for the final hurdle. The ABS light came on the other day. Is it likely to be the sensor? I have replaced the CV on one side and the CV boot on the other so there has been a bit of disturbance there.

Also, does the Irish model have lots of extras as mine has 6disc multi Cd, heated windscreen, electric front windows, Central locking, etc. My 1.6lx of a long time ago never had most of this!

    Well, thankfully I managed to sort out the ABS light, as expected... A quick sanding down of the ring (On the CV) and a clean of both the front sensors did clear the fault and it now has it's mot!

    Still no idea about the Irish/English spec difference though.
