I have my MOT in two weeks, last year they didnt have the new computer system setup so got an old style mot. I have had the ABS removed and re piped from the S2, the light still comes on when the handbrake is applied and goes off again when released, will I be ok? I've heard a couple people mention they ran into problems because of this?

 

you should be alright because your warning light is still working. basically when the tester enters your car's details it will tell how to check the abs system(thats if he can be bothered to read what the computer prints out) and all it tells him is to check that the light comes on and go'es off with the hanbrake

 

you will be fine mate...just done mine and sailed straight through

bassboy

 

Spot on, cheers guy's

 

hope your rite,as ive been told,because of the lsd,the brakes cant be tested on the rollers,therefore a meter is fitted and your car is driven by the tester and an accomplice,to get a percentage reading for your stopping power,thats when they will notice the abs not functioning,

dont wanna piss on your chips like,but ive been informed by ford,and another independant station that this is the way its done,good luck!

 

Really? Hmm...well, my brakes are much more efficient with that shit removed now, oh and having 300mm fronts and cossie rears deffo helps! Half expecting them to mention something though...hmmm

 

i had mine done recently and mine hasn't even bin re-piped, just had the sensors and belts removed- was all carried out on the rollers (my local place does a while u wait service)with no problem at all

 

Mines been done on the new MOT for the past 2 years with no problems.

 

no messing,was at ford today,and they said,coz of the lsd it wont go on the rollers.

my brakes are bedding in ,combi black diamonds and pred pads pluss goodridge,and a brand new 120notes servo!,new as in brand new set up at the back TOTAL,

so im not a happy bunny.its all a fuck up

We'll see...

 

not being funny mate but thats a load of crap,there is NO reason why the brakes cant be tested on the MOT rollers!! mine is tested on the rollers EVRY year without any problem

 

I agree they have deffo tested my brakes on the roller, they have to to make sure the brake pressure is good all round

 

MINES MOTD ON ROLLERS 2 MATE

 

if you just turn up at the garage how r they going to know unless you tell them!!

 

Akito..........you've been mis-informed

My cabby was tested on the rollers, thats got an LSD box and cossie brakes with no ABS, was spot on

 

the rollers bit, the ford garage by me has the oldy worldy rollers,hence them not doin it on them,

tho the other garage has the brand new type and informed me that they CAN do it on the rollers, but ,and its a big BUT! he says! and is sticking to the story of!," if its fitted with abs,it MUST work",
even tho i printed off the mot section on abs testing,that "moose" put up on his thread,relating to the fact that ,if the abs light works and goes out when it should,alls well,even if all or part of the abs is not fitted,in that case you must inform the owner!period.

but the cocky mech wont have it!

so i showed the copy to the ford mech,and he said ,ok if it goes out,as it should and your brakes work,as they should with the given percentages,it wont be a prob,

bang on,gona tek it to the ford garage now then. besides,theyre all interested in gettin a look at it too.

ooooo! wot a pullaver!
ps didnt order my belts either! fricken rebel>

 

oi,safechev,

does your motor,come up on the vosa comp as having abs then?

 

No, but i wrote that with reference to what u said above about not being able to test a non ABS car with an LSD or whatever

 

ok ,just that the vosa tells the examiner that it has abs and it must be checked.

 

Yea i understand that, but as you've said, if the car no longer has ABS, how is that possible.

That tester sounds like a right nob!

 

Mine has been tested on the new style MOT for the last two years without a problem! [Once at Ford and once at Well Lane] and both times the efficiency was checked on the rollers.

 

john,with abs bits in place too!minus belts?????????

yea get wot your saying safey,but he was born a mech,he knows best,NOT!,

he says if its fitted it must work,therefore if the belts are missing,they must be replaced to make the system work,

fuck him,juss spent 40notes on oil and a filter,if he thinks meez gonna pour that out to get a modulator cover off to fit a belt,then all the sus arb tcas and steering after my set up,,he s wrong.

how very dare he!

 

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................... .....................you HAVEN'T removed your ABS.......?

Thats fair do's then, i would have to agree with him, taking the belts off isn't the same end result as having it removed completely

 

Going for it's MOT shortly....wish me luck

 

Passed....straight through as usual Got it's first new style mot, and Akito, not meaning to piss on YOUR chips, but they deffo tested the brakes on the rollers

 

nice one adam....

 

Congrats!

 

Cheers Paul, hows things?

 

Cheers Peter
