Alright lads, I've recently changed my brakes to ST170 jobies, and at the same time removed the shitty ABS. After removing the ABS the orage brake light was on so i've removed the bulb like you do but the red engine warning light has also come on. When my mate John Laverick did the same job that light never came on, has anyone got any ideas as to what it might be? I've checked the brake fluid level and thats all ok, and i dout its to do with the handbrake cos it happened at the asme time i messed with my brakes.
Any help will be much appreicated

Thought the red (handbrake) light was tied in with the yellow abs one anyway.

When you removed the abs you should have unplugged the the abs sensors - most probably at the yellow connector. You need to bridge the two pins within the end of the yellow connector on the end of the loom as keeping contact between these keeps the abs light out.

If you mean the oil presure light - then it is possible you have pulled the connector from the sensor on the back of the engine when removing the abs.

 

I recently got my Escort RST... its my 1st RS n my ABS wrks really well.... but all i hear is every1 slatein it off.... is mine a rarity to have the ABS wrkin or am i thinkin highly of sumthin that is no gd?

 

To be honest my ABS on my old S2 was great i was all ready to take it off and i was visiting my mums in dorset giving it some beans on the country lanes 100+mph when a fuckin fox tried it's luck and the ABS got me right out of trouble never even attempted to lock up plus i had new discs pads and T1-Proxies

 

Properly setup ABS works very well.

 

Yea mine does..... i did a litle test myself... i was doin bout 50mph then just wacked it down... the car nearly ripped my sline out... stopped sp quick,, with no pullin either side and only made the slitest of screeches rite as it stoipped... latsed bout an inch!

i was impressed as evry1 told me to take it off!
