RR Classic ABS light
Discussion
Hoping someone has an answer.
Last year I had a bit of a problem with a fuse that kept blowing on my 94 Classic LSE.
I took it to a generic service centre which i've used for the odd thing in the past on it, brake pads etc.
They fixed the problem but when I got the car back the abs warning light was on. they said that it came on and they couldnt turn it off but the abs was working and not to worry about it.
I checked the abs and it was indeed working and tbh it didnt especially bother me so i didnt worry about it.
The RR has just gone to the same garage and they have failed the mot because this light it on!!!!!
They are a bit hazy about saying anything to me before and say they dont do abs work there.
Anyone got any clues before I spend a load of money taking it somewhere else.
(and yes, I have voiced my displeasure!)

Bit here for you (from http://rangerovers.net ):
ABS Sensors (Late Model Classics)
On Classics with the Antilock Braking System (ABS) (County model 1990 and up, all models 1993-95) the ABS light will flash until the vehicle has been rolling for a few seconds -- this is normal. It means that your ABS sensor needs to get a "Rolling signal" from one of the pickups. As Craig Ross notes, however, if it remains on longer, you might need at worst a sensor replacement. Try to have the rear ABS sensors re-adjusted. Crawl under the truck and locate them. They look like a spark plug stuck out of the back of the brake mounting plate with a wire coming out of it. Tap them in towards the wheel with a dowel and mallet. Light taps. They will seat against the wheel and reset on the first complete revolution of the wheel. See if that fixes your problem. If its a front sensor, you have to replace it.
Get it checked & any fault codes checked by a garage that does Land Rovers & who have proper LR diagnostic capability. Generic code readers often come up with meaningless codes.
