Ive heard some of the granada abs sensors will work but the wire is just a bit longer than sierra ones.

I think you may struggle from a breakers as they tend to break when you remove them. I had a few problems with mine but was advised not to remove them to clean them for fear of them breaking.

Nice one Mike, much cheaper than Ford too.

I wonder what a "12 months warrantee" is though

Yeah I was thinking that myself.

I found the site when I was the Registrar for the 4x4 Saphs for the RSOC, thought it would be a good idea to try and source parts from other places incase Ford stopped making them.

Glad to be of assistance.

the fronts are all the same across the seirra range
if you get an upto 91 granada they are also the same on them
same goes for the rears
after 92 though the granada's get different plugs on the ends, same with the escos ones

front and rears are different though

that's great, but which is the offside and which is the near side?

also does a scorpio use the same sensors as the cossie 3door?

the off side refers to the side that is not next to the kerb, so for us the off side is the drivers side as when you sit in the car you are on the right hand side

the near side is nearest to the kerb so as a passenger in a right hand drive car you would be on the near side

this doens't matter with the sensors

the granada ones are the same but they have an extra bit of suppresion on them to counter the extra electrics they have in the higher spec cars over the sierra's
