Hi guys,

I've got some error codes on my 2008 Vauxhall Vivaro and a chap that came round yesterday said its the ABS Control Module and that when he clears the codes they come back instantly. The dash is lit up like a Christmas tree so it's fair to say it will fail an MOT unless I address this. The guy in question is a mobile mechanic and said he can't do the work because it sometimes needs to be coded into the ECU.

The van only owes me £3,400 so I don't want to end up paying big money to fix one issue when, frankly, another issue might lurk around the corner. What's the best way to approach this? Should I try and get a 2nd hand/refurbished unit and then find a garage willing to fit it?

On that note, is this the part: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Trafic-Vauxhall...

I'm not sure what the actual code is but it was indicating a problem with the ABS control unit and also two wheel speed sensors which, the guy tells me, could be a false-positive as a result of the issue with the control unit. It sounds like wiring should be investigated as a first port of call.
