    I struggle to see why you keep commenting on technical stuff when you struggled at first to change your diesel filter. Free world free speech and all that.

    As cam says if there is no evidence of abs so no light, pump, wires or sensors there will be nothing there for them to test. Cant test it if its not there so cant fail it.

    Wont happen mate. Only the vts and the odd few vtr's had abs as standard so the tester isn't likely to notice a abs light on a car the age of saxo's. If the equipment isn't there he wont have a reason to look for the light.

    When removing the ABS you will have to remove everything involved with the ABS system which will include the following:

    ABS actuator
    ABS wheel speed sensors
    ABS sensor mounts on struts
    ABS actuator fuse

    On a side note you will still have the ABS rings visible...

    You should then use a 4 port master cylinder as the 2 port will have the ABS M/C part number underneath (if the MOT tester was so anal to check)

    Then just make sure your new non-ABS braking system is all done pucka
