Post by: Budgie on June 30, 2006, 21:49:31: I also run a 95 Disco with no ABS Dave, I think it was either an option at that time or only fitted to top-of-the-range models. :wink:

To check if you have ABS fitted, look under the bonnet and sitting on top of the inner wing, between the air filter box & the washer bottle, you'll find the ABS modual(sp) with a load of pipes coming out of it. :wink:

The other thing to look for is the ABS sensor wire in the top swivel pin and the bolt heads for the sensor rings inside the rear disk hubs.

I don't really like ABS in some off-road situations so I have one sensor set slightly high so that the system sees a fault and doesn't activate at 5mph. You have to 'fudge' it to make it work, but that suits me fine as then I can choose whether or not to use it.

Yes, they do.
