that sounds daunting....does that need to be done professionally?? -
ive been having some ABS fault light troubles and have got hold of a replacement control unit to try and solve things.... from what i can work out this is simply a case of unplugging the old one and plugging the new one in... is it really this simple or is there something im missing???
