Why would I ask a question which had no relevance to me, then make up a random car to prove a point Steve?

The car is not mine, I only have my BMW.

I was asked the question as he was getting annoyed with it cutting out mid corner.

You lot make me laugh, you really do.

But that could also mess up ABS controller, etc.

As said, only company I have heard of that can sort it is Shark.

Just because its a powerful track car, doesn't mean it doesn't need ABS, might still be used on the road a lot.

Why would you bin the ABS for the sake of it? it's not intrusive and it stops it ending up in the gravel if you brake too late.

I nearly binned broster's clio at Oulton when I braked on some oil and it locked up, i missed the gravel by about 6 inches, if it had ABS, that wouldn't have been even close to happening.

It's not a race car, it's a track car....

Alright anger management its not our fault you cant modulate a brake pedal yourself, lots of anger around lately.

Anyway i dont think the brake switch would affect the abs imo, should be sensing from the sensors and not go anywhere near the brake switch. Doubt the abs relies on a shitty switch, but could be wrong.

Anyway i still think rewiring the switch just to the rear lights is a possible way to go.

I can, hence the car not ending up in the gravel.

What I'm saying is if it had been a car with ABS, the wheels wouldn't have locked up in the first place, so I wouldn't have narrowly avoided it!
