Where can I have my Vauxhall Astra's ABS sensor replaced cheaply?
I have a 2007 Vauxhall Astra SRI with a faulty ATE Teves Mk 60 ABS sensor. Vauxhall is yet to confirm that this part is in the car but the symptoms match. Can you help me as I understand you have helped others get repairs for this part and not pay out £1500. Both Vauxhall and Evans Halshaw deny the sensor fault and have said there are no recalls on the vehicle. The annoying part of this is that the failure occurred during an MoT at Evans Halshaw when the vehicle was not in my possession, so I don't feel I should be paying out.

What goes wrong is the brake pressure sensor. This can be repaired for from £225 by www.sinspeed.co.uk, www.ecutesting.com or www.bba-reman.com among others. Add the cost of removing and refitting the ABS/ESP module, + brake fluid + despatch and receipt.
