Derrrrr whilst fitting my new rims last night for some reason their was a wheel bolt supplied which was a few mm longer than the others .. So after fitting I thought I would take the R out for a bit if a spin and got one turn of the wheel ( slowly )and crrrrrrunchhh! ... G46 code and speed sensor code became up .... Took wheel off the near side rear and looked about and my abs ring is bent and abs sensor is trashed .. Talk about a beaming smile to total miserableness .... Anyone know the best place to order the new bits and bobs I need.. And roughly how much? Took the other halfs Fiat 500 to work this morning . Enough said really

It says the part is not available online and to ring or email them... I know the sensor is wrecked and here's the silly question would the ring be mullered or just bent and could be straightened..

Not even worth trying bud. You can still run the car, I Ran mine for 2 weeks trying to get a sensor!

Will the sensor that's flapping about in the hub damage owt or has all the possible damage been done.
Of its flapping around and your light is on anyway just take it off or cable tie it up.

Always go for OEM parts not cheap ones or you will end up replacing it sooner.

But cheap buy twice

For the hassle and cost I'd personally get both. :) bargain for a deal at the stealers

That is a bit of a Bas***d act getting a bad bolt. My solution was to fit studs and nuts from trackstuds.com from the USA. They have a variety of lengths and cone or tapered nuts to suit.
