Default Help! Faulty speedo and ABS warning light on = $9,000 (£4,500)

I have a similar problem and need SERIOUS help guys.


My speedo hasn't been working for a few months and the ABS warning light and hand brake light are permanently illuminated.

My 350 drives beautifully and there i thought there is definitely nothing wrong with it. I thought it was a slight electrical error.

I took it to the dealer (Wilsons in Epsom) and they say the ABS electrical system needs to be totally replaced. So its going to cost £4,500!!!!!! They said its just a small little box but its needs doing! Otherwise it won't pass the mot!!!

The weird thing is when the speedo stopped working i left it for a couple days then came back it started working again. Then after another week stopped. That was 6 months ago.

The codes they gave me are as follows


Po500 Speed sensor
P1212 ABS
U1001 EPS

I really can't afford 4 and a half grand. Does anyone have any segestions???

My poor baby is sitting unused on the street and me stressed to hell! lol

Find the parts off a used/wrecked Z - they'd probably cost you 1/10th as much as new.
