Hi,
Ages ago, I used to have a problem with my ABS cutting in way too early - and releasing the brakes way too much. JZM fixed it by removing / cleaning out the Longditudinal accelerometer.
Over the last few weeks it's felt to me like my ABS is ocassionally cutting in a little early again - although nothing like the problem I had before. It could be because the weather has cooled down but I want to check and clean out the accelerometer again just to be sure.
I know where it is - and if I remove the flap in the transmission tunnel I can see it. But from memory, it didn't look like it was very easy to remove it from there.
I know that after I posted about this when JZM fixed it, a number of people cleaned their's out. So - how did you remove it in the first place? Can I get it out via the flap in the side of the transmission tunnel or is there another way?

Yes, it is.
I just did it actually - you can get to the longditudinal one if you use one of the bits to a screw driver then turn it with a spanner. Latitude one would be harder - but I took the cover off and it looked OK anyway.
Both my sensors were moving freely still. I think maybe the longditudinal one might occasionally be affected because I wired the power to my camera detector through the switch on this panel. I will move it over the weekend to somewhere else I think.

I took a phillips bit this morning ande found good space on the near side screw, but not above the far side screw!! How do you remove it? I am thinking there is an easier way that I am simply overlooking...?

The worst thing to do very dificult to remove it, but possible I open it but it was ok I just un dust it with some compress air but both where ok. later i cleaned the wheel speed sensors and now when i turn on there is no problem but when i start driving at 20mph the pdas and antilock light turn un i dont know what can be causing this. im working on it, i start this because everytime i press the brakes it lock the tires and flat spot my tires.
