Hi all and apologies for my long winded question as you have probably answered this question many times before.
I am not a Mechanic (limited knowledge on mechanics) but I can't seem to find anyone local to me that can take on and resolve my problem.

I have a 1996 2.5 V6 registered 29 th March 1996 and I have owned it for the last 20 yrs , it was garaged for a number of years and then put back on the road discs brakes etc ,tbe ABS Light is on but I cannot get any one that can connect to the diagnostics to pinpoint the problem as I believe their modern setup is not compatible to the Probes diagnostic port , are the connection plugs available ?, or any other advice please.

You can't plug it in. More than likely it'll be a faulty abs module, which is a blue box under the dashboard, if the back of your head was resting on the accelerator pedal, move a bit of trim you'll see it. It's a rocking horse poo part.

Count the flashes on the dashboard- that's the trouble code.
