I know its an otional extra on the VTR but having just bought the car Im not 100% sure if mine does/doesnt have it and need to know so I can order the correct driveshaft as two are listed (ABS and non-ABS)
I have looked in handbook and it says when you switch ignition on the ABS light comes on for 2 seconds then goes out, mine doesn't come on at all so I either dont have it or a blown bulb in dash!
Any other way of telling other than a silly braking test to try it?

either ABS or non-ABS driveshaft will fit as long as you have the correct tapered or non-tapered style for your car

On the front and rear same spot. You would see a wire come from behind the brake.

Its a 2003 on an 03 plate.
Every place I look at gives two different part numbers though, ABS and non ABS?
