Did you just use underseal on the cleaned metal??
Thanks. No I treated with Kurust before and after for which I drilled 2 holes. Applied a lot of Kurust and use airgun to spread in between. After that I coated the metal and welds with zinc primer twice.
(@Jim in between I decided to clean my workshop 'kitchen' and even did some paint work there

)
Afterwards I applied underseal and next week will waxoil the inner works as well. Should hold out for a while.

I let them work - that's all! I don't buy them to look at them!

Give me some moral support here!

It'll be alright Jaap. Honest. Don't worry, everything will be okay..... That enough moral support!
I don't know...looking at them is far less expensive...
Don't you have some spare sensors from the black scrapper? At least it is a Teves system, if they were both Bendix it could be a lot worse.

Jaap, here's another bootful of moral support...
Every Citroen I have ever owned has needed ABS sensors so I have heaps of empathy...

Mine too jim

Liz just got home and the light did NOT come on. So not too bad there. Possibly a duff rear sensor

But they are easy to find.
Will have a go at the Turbo now, wish me luck, not in the right mood really...
