So recently I replaced my discs and pads in my vtr and the pads that were in the callipers already had what looked like a sensor coming out of it that was just tied around the brake hose plugging into no where. I understand ABS was an option and I dont think mine has it, just wondering if its possible to install ABS for safety reasons.
Cheers

It is possible but is a massive ball ache and really not worth it as standard Saxo brakes are terrible anyway.

The wire is for a brake wear sensor - not fitted to saxo brakes!

it is possible and not a massive amount of work really, but you might as well buy another car with ABS already fitted.

that may be the case for yours, but the majority of cars which are looked after brake just fine.
