Reference my earlier posts with regards to ABS light permanently on, have just had the sensors checked by my local garage and he reckons that they are showing reading that are 'acceptable' and therefore cannot find any reason for the light to show. My 1995 Bongo does not have the diagnostic port as apparently fitted to later Bongo's. So does anyone have any ideas please, hopefully before the MOT is due.

Thanks

Thanks guys, next question

how do I remove the dial binnacle to get to the ABS Light. PLEASE don't say theres some screw to undo as I have one of those walnut veneer dash fascia fitted (as imported) and I think its glued to the original dash

All right I won't tell you there is "some" screw to undo, there are 4 - I think.
Two under the lip at the top and one either side of the steering column, no doubt somebody will tell you if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to remember from when I fitted my coolant alarm.

Cheers Scanner, guess some gentle prising is going to be needed

Yep 4 screws the prise gently, 2 multi plug connectors then the binacle comes off. Check printed circuit board clean it, pull out the small bulbs as well then make sure when you put them back that good contact is made. Hopefully this will solve your problem. Good Luck
