I'd basically look for the odd one out (resistance) making sure that the wires are moved whilst testing. Where are you? I could put my code reader on it if you are not too far from Langley or North London. Its somewhat easier than messing about with resistances because it will even show the speed registered on each wheel when driving and whether the fault is intermittant

It only cost me £15 to pay for diagnosis, which correctly identified failing sensor, may be worth considering as the price of Cit wheel sensors appears to be about 3 times that of the opposition.

thanks lads.i had the car plugged in and the guy diagnosed nsf and osr sensors as faulty.however,after reading a few posts on the subject i don't think that this is a guarantee plus the fact that he told me that i would end up cracking the rear disc trying to remove the sensor.any advance on this subject?
