the abs lamp is the same bulb type as used for ashtray etc and is found on the loom that plugs into the back of the speedo. like daz says it pushes into the dash.

Hello guys.
I'm going to have a go at fitting ABS in the next weeks and have an ABS ready iS (hubs and struts) but have no ABS symbol under my speedo.
Is it the ircle with an ! in it?
If not, do I need a new speedo with an ABS symbol in it?
Cheers.

Just checked - ABS does indeed have it's own dash symbol. Of course it should, wasn't thinking.
Anyone have an ABS equipped speedo?
Promise to set the mileage to my correct original mileage.

im sure all the binnacles are the same so u should have a hole for the abs bulb holder to fit into. u could shine a torch at the back of the binnacle and u will see the spare telltale symbols. abs is next to the (!) which i think is for auto transmission

You won't find an OE cluster with it in white. Mine is a '93 build, so quite late, and doesn't have it in white.
We didn't even know we had ABS until I spotted the pump and replaced the bulb!
