A common fault with the ABS system are the pickup rings on the hubs. Thats where I would start if I was you.

Oh, and if you do it Nick, can you take some pics and do a how to?

the phonic rings on the rear ABS are a relatively straight forward opperation to replace,i did mine in around 30 minutes each side,couldnt believe the actual state they were in when removed,

Not too pricey either are they Deano?

eurospares are quoting £54 each,though i thought they were less than that a pair when i did mine,ill have to dig the receipt out.

My ABS error shows on front n/s, is this the same pickup ring?

also need exhaust section, forward of silencer.

On the original subject of this thread i appear to have oil leaking from the left hand turbo, i presume the oil seals cannot be replaced? Does this mean i need a replacement turbo unit? any one messed about with the turbos? are there any serviceable parts? any advice welcome!

Davy....not sure if they can be overhauled.........ask on PH if no one knows on here........are they Garett by maker?

The turbochargers are manufactured by IHI, their name is RMF5B (if your car is a 3200 GT). There are different part numbers for right and left units.

I hope to swap mine out for a pair of upgraded chargers in a not too distant future.

Most likely you just have a leak from one of the oil lines. It would be very rare for a turbo to leak oil. If you're blowing blue smoke out the exhaust on idle or on boost then look at changing a turbo.

I've only flicked through the service manual, but the oil lines look like flexi braided with banjo fittings, they may have just worked lose?

I seriously hope that's all it is, trouble is of course they are not easy to get at!!!
my local garage folks will remove the sub frame next week i will know how bad it is then. It looks like the units can be re-furbished I will try to find out what the script is
