I feel your disappointement, really sorry. These cars are reliable but with 20 years on their back some bits ring the money pitt.Today, I have nothing more than bad news for the car.
The ABS module was tested & has come back healthy, or at least on a cold bench test. Unfortunately, as it is the only component that hasn't been replaced, it is suspected by the garage that it could be faulty under heated conditions. This is plausible, but it would be at the expense of a further £350+ to get it refurbished, totalling around £700 just to eliminate or fix the ABS module.
I've read that the tester can apply heat using a heat gun, but I'm not sure if this is widely practiced.
Either way, it seems I have no choice but to have it refurbished to complete the test & possibly get it working again, but I'll have to forget about getting back on the road this year.
These extra fees have completely eaten up my budget, but worst of all, crushed my hope of getting back out in it & enjoying it again.
If I was sane, it would be going on a trailer to the scrappy, but unfortunately I'm not that smart.
Anyway that's it folks...tune in for another episode of 'Breaking BadBoy' next week
And this is just an idea but wouldn't be a good try to lend a used ABS module with @mty12345 (just to guarantee it is in good condition) and try it on the car? Just to be sure it is the module fault before you go and spend that much money?
