They pop up on ebay from time to time, and in breakers yards.

Granadas have them, and any Sierra with ABS has them (XR4x4, Ghia, GLS). Rule of thumb - as long as the resistance of the sensor is around 1200ohms, it should be OK.

the ends are different
and you can't change them
it's something to do with the resistance in the ends as these are different pluged with just 2 prongs whereas the sierra ones round pluged

and it's not even as if you can chop the ends off and swap them around either

The abs sensors are still aveable from ford front and rear.I got 2 front ones from ebay for the 2wd cossie which where the right ones with correct part.Also i had some for the v6 sierra which are spot on for the cossie but the only diffrence was the length !!!!

Will give ford a ring tomorrow to find the part numbers and price but i think it was around £90 pounds for the front and £80 for the rear !

I think that the only difference is the length of the cable for the front and all the rear are the same.
