You should ALWAYS have a known working spare distributor anyway , so has to be a first try.
Plus, if the immobiliser hasn't been modified , that has to be sorted too.

Re: Brake upgrade
Hmmm, if your ABS is preventing the wheels from locking up surely that's as good as you can get without going down the whole design route, of
Tyres ,shockers , discs , etc ?

Re: 24V Probe - Complete Starting Fail
If you have air/fuel/spark and timing right , it must run. The spark must be 'strong enough ' though , I think you need to test if that spark is good enough. The only other possibility is a problem with that 6 castellation plate that whizzes round between the Hall effect sensors in the distributor. ...

Re: 24V Probe - Complete Starting Fail
Oh No , how many times must I write it.

Re: 24V Probe Idle Issue
And , check EVERYTHING in that throttle quadrant slot is working correctly.
That tiny ball-race MUST turn, not slide , as it moves up and down through the slot.

Re: ABS problem
Because those cables are subject to LOTS of movement and vibration.
It has to be totally flexible.
The wire is much finer than hair , twisting them together is fine , solder and the wire will break on the solder/wire transition.

Re: ABS problem
If all else fails I do have one BUT the cable is only 6 inches long.
It can be spliced onto the existing cable by twisting the wires together NOT SOLDERED.
I can supply all the heat shrinks to make it a good job.
A £3 postage stamp gets it to you.

Re: ABS problem
There are only four ways these items can fail.
1/ By the stainless can being crushed by rust.
2/ The can being damaged on removal
3/ The 'sticky-out' peg being damaged by a stone, etc
4/ The cable being damaged
Which one caused yours to fail ?
