Default ABS Headache !

I'm currently doing a 3 door replica (Base car is a 1.6) When I bought the shell I was informed that all looms were fitted and that it would need just an engine and box to complete.

Engine and box are now in and running fine, however it appears as though the ABS will not operate.

From the pics below can someone please advise:-

1. Is the ABS pump 2WD or 4 x 4 ??

2. I thought that a 2WD ABS ECU loom connector should be Red or Yellow. I believe the ABS loom I have fitted is from a 4 x 4 (Green) is this correct.

3. Is the ABS ECU 2WD or 4 x 4 ???

4. Can you run a 4 x 4 ABS in a 2wd set up or do I need to source new items ???

Cheers Peeps

4x4 abs ecu plug is red, and im sure the ecu states 4x4 on the cover

where do the brake pipes come out of the pump? if they come out the drivers side, by the inner wing, its a 4x4 pump

Cheers mate, looks like it's all 2wd then

I thinks I've got a problem with the ABS pump as it doesn't seem to prime.

Just a quick update, finally got the ABS to work

The problem was a faulty pressure switch, just need to put all the interior back in and get it MOT'd now.
