emmisions is probably all to do with the lambda sensor being duff as st170's love to eat them!! EDIT: they have 2 sensors, 1 pre cat that feeds the mixture info to the ecu and is by far the most important one!! and second is post cat just to check the cat is working so you could just swap the 2 sensors over to see if one is faulty or both. from what you've said though the connector may have broken off.

ABS could just be the bulb. i'd check the fuses (should be 2 in engine bay fuse box) and do an abs test on wet grass to check its actually working!

both rear wheel bearing need replacing and to do that requires a proper press although its not hard to remove the hubs.

with the brakes theres an advisory on corrosion on ALL 4 discs so i'd replace ALL discs and pads and bleed the whole ystem through with fresh fluid (including the clutch as uses same reservoir). so long as the callipers are working as they should (clean them up while they're off and regrease the slider pins) this should sort the inefficiencies out and if the rear discs and pads are badly worn then it will sort the hand brake out too.


this should get all the fail points sorted and then just got the high level brake light which is prob just a connector issue.

if theres still problems after that then get back to us, hope she passes for you though 8)


insurance wise i hope you have declared the engine conversion otherwise if you have a smash the assessor will instantly realise its got a 2l st170 engine in it and not the 1.6 and your insurance will be voided!!
