Anti lock abs system............ probably just a dirty/fouled sensor.
In general, the MOT failure list is not all bad but the ABS light is a continuing problem. The sensors won't stay in the right place and I'm told that it could be a very expensive job to fix!?As well as the MOT issues, it's the other issues as well. All this on top of a few previous heavy garage bills. Unfortunately, I don't have a garage where I can work on the car, nor do I really have the time :roll:

Horn does not function - probably wiring/earth, rip it off and fit an air-horn (keep BTM happy and fit a dukes of hazard one)
centre front steering damper seal failed and leaking oil - take it off (it's the fact that it's leakking that failing you) or replace it for £10-£15Nearside registration lamp not working - bulb?Power steering component(s) leaking - errrrrrrrrrr - no!Offside rear shock absorber has negligible damping effect £30 from paddocks - really easy to change the rearsOffside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak - see aboveNearside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - cable tiesOffside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - more cable tiesNearside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearingOffside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearingFor both - new bearings, about £10 a piece, and this might help your ABS problemSo I vote for a FIX IT!

Shockers seem to be available from about £10.00(?) mail order
nothing but a weekends work there. 'brake pipe not clipped'? thats not even a proper job, that will take all of 5 seconds to fix.
Err, no it won't, as the light comes on with the ignition and goes off at 5MPH!
QuoteErr, no it won't, as the light comes on with the ignition and goes off at 5MPH!Er Gords ... that is what it is SUPPOSED to do. IF that is the "fault" then I'm afraid the only fault is that someone hasn't read the handbook, or the MOT tester has never had an ABS equpped Discovery in before.
Well if your selling it will you replace it?
