Had a quick look in daylight today, and the cable seems to go behind the engine.
Need to remove the sensor, and light to work with is non-existant until next weekend.
Can anyone tell me the routing of the cable from the front right abs sensor, in particular, where is this mystical connection that's supposed to exist before the cable joins the ECU ?
Cheers.
Xantia ABS cable routing.

The length of the cable from the front ABS sensor to it's connector is 38 inches (if that helps). As I recall, the connector is above the front sub-frame, well tucked away in the direction of the diff. You really have to follow the cable.
You are right re MOT failure if there is no ABS light sequence. By the way, to avoid adding strange fault codes to the ABS ECU, don't simple turn off the ignition, disconnect the battery before unplugging the ECU. Otherwise, if you have a future problem and "invest" in a £20 fault code read, the chances are that everything (sendors, electrovalves, ECU) get reported as faulty. Then the memory has to be cleared, the car driven and brought back - more cost!
