I do like seeing a hedgehog in the garden tonight...

As a bit of fun im starting this thread, iv got a number of cosmetic mods i want to do and in a few years when insurance is cheaper some engine bay mods.

most ford abs module connectors are removed by squeazing the connector cover locking tangs inwards then pulling the cover upwards. this unlocks the connector from the module

It's been a bright sunny day here in central Scotland. Mrs Nitten is at work. Perfect day for sorting out the garden then spending a couple of hours giving the car a proper clean (glass cleaner, microfibre cloths, the works) all the while listening to a newly found podcast. Currently enjoying a coffee and a real sense of a job well done, something I seldom get from the 9-5 grind.

Hi tg, I had this problem a couple of years ago. In my case it was a case of a bad thermostat housing seal; You need to remove the thermostat housing shown below. The invoice shows the (2016) price of the gasket and a new thermostat from a Ford dealer; The thermostat is seated beneath the larger of the two outlets. The seal that usually causes this leak is the one beneath the smaller outlet. Both Haynes and ford instruct removal of the alternator for access but it is possible to do it without this step. However, you'll need dextrous fingers and the patience of a saint to get the four bolts out and back in! This is where the housing seats; I popped the new thermostat in first; The seal for the opening on the right is probably where your leak is from. I've read that the plastic housings themselves can leak but it's usually the gasket on the small outlet that fails. Regards, H..

So now all sorted went to Garage told it was a bearing and would cost around £120 to fix which obviously I'm very happy about Thanks for all the helpful posts

It's the headlight level sensor for the xenons.

They're still worth twice that though unfortunately. The other cars she was comparing against were a Mk5 Golf GTi and a Mk8(?) Civic Type R, both of those can be had for around £4-5k easily but not a facelift ST225. Though I have wondered if they were including pre-facelift cars to show a lower price...bit misleading if that's the case though. I'd have bought one by now if they were that cheap!

AHH!! That just reminded me I has exactly the same issue some years ago on a mk3 Mondeo and was the passenger front also.

Thanks everyone for replies actually solved the problem today after 4 weeks and stupid amounts of cash spent on new parts and data testing ..... Turns out the fault was actually the wheel hub itself ...why garages never picked up this I don't know but the new wheel bearings that went in the outer casing wasn't holding tight in the hub itself and just the centre bearing moving .... The wheel bearing whole was spinning around in the hub loose so the abs sensor couldn't pick up a reading from it ☹️ .... A second hand hub today and immediately abs light went out and no more fault .... Next task give the garages some jip why this wasn't checked while wheel bearings was done
