LOL, see you there then? 
Still you dont seem to get it do you?
Suppose some people dont have any idea's or even bother with other road users safety just ones that dont bother with consequences of their actions due to driving a defective vehicle
And your the only one with the attitude, think you need to look a bit closer to home (oh and do you have insurance or do you flaunt that too?)

jesus
he was only advising you the legal implications of doing it
if you dont like what he says ignore him , but being on here 10years have a bit of respect
if you want to pull the fuse out you go do it , but when u crash make sure no one is in the way

Dunno what the fuss is about, his ABS wont be working anyway, if there's a sensor fault then it'll stop the ABS working - which is the purpose of the warning light.
As for crashing, yeah could happen, but my old fiesta doesnt have ABS and its probably better to drive safely and defensively than to think that you can rely on technology to get you out of trouble.
The legalites are another issue, personally I'd rather fix it than drive it.

A bit confused about the issue of not having abs on a car that has abs???
I do alot of drifting and drifting with abs is a nightmare as you can imagine, it confuses it and if/when you spin out backwards you dont stop!
However, I drive a fully prepped E30 V8 which is road legal, which had abs, but since I have comepletely removed it and (in fitting a v8, had to change the servo and moved it to the front of the engine bay) pretty much a whole new braking system without abs, so does this mean that my car is illegal???
I can see the implications of having abs and it not working/faulty in a accident can and will invalidate insurance and more maybe get you in some ****, so if you dont want it remove it properly if not then fix it, its not hard to do so,
Im no great driver i dont think that anybody is, id love to have abs on my car when im driving on the road, i maybe able to relax then

I have had my Impreza for 10 years and 150.000 miles, 5 years with the ABS active and 5 years with no ABS.
In reality, I have had the most dangerous situations with the ABS active - caused by the system's inability to handle uneven surfaces. When braking hard and one of the front wheels run over a bump/pothole etc, something unusual happens: The ABS kicks in - but there is NO brake power whatsoever. Brake power does not return until the pedal is released and pushed down again, and in that time the car has moved a critical distance. Almost put me off the road several times.
After a few years with the fuse removed, I decided to remove the ABS system entirely. This was easy, just find a 2.0 NA donor car and move brake booster, master cylinder and brake lines over - plug & play. An additional bonus is that the spongy brake pedal is gone. The NA brake booster is single stage - giving much improved feedback from the brakes.

i dont see the problem with removing the abs. yes he should at least tell his insurer but it will not make the car un safe. abs was an option on the classic imports. mine doesnt have it. the op can drive it fine without.

To the OP, your attitude stinks. You should take on board all advise offered as you're obviously in need of ALL and ANY education (both formal and social) and advice available.
Not only do you not understand the consept of declearing your mods, as if you did then you would be only to pleased to declear them to your insurer.
But it would seem, niether do you understand the consept of a public forum.Tony Burns may not of answered your question, but he offered you sensible legal advise. I was going to say, that next time you post for advise...
But it's irrelivent really, and i would be wasting my time as people of your elk only seem to have a Scoob for 5 mins. Strange that eh.

really?? i have had subarus for the last 8 years on and off , i have fitted engines clutches full rebuilds and many other things over the years, i asked for info on a subject i had no knowledge of ie abs sensors and the effects on the ecu and testing them, pretty simples aint it, i well know all about the legality off this and never asked about it so why the **** do all the doo gooders poke there fooking nose in and cause a stink !!!!!! name calling and thinking they are safe to say what they want to people behind there pc screen, im a straight jon bull person and expect what i ask for not the bullsh1te that you mooses keep spitting out,. oh and lets cleer this up im 35 and own my own company and aint no chav pal OK!
So you will be perfectly placed to explain, in a 'straight jon bull' way of course, how you are getting 430bhp
from a 2000 turbo, and give the worlds best reason as to why you are running 'all' that power on standard brakes.By the way, the car doesn't look that well looked after. With all the cr@ppy glue on bits and tinted windows, you look very much like a chav, pal.
You don't seem very mature for a 35 year old.

:r azz: gues i aint mature so whatI ask again, just how have you managed to produce 430bhp from the badly styled chav charriot in you garage. The more detailed you can be about your achievements the better as i am sure my understanding is, compered to yours, very limited.
I don't recall being 'bitchy' in any of my posts in this thread. If i have then i appologise and can only put it down to the stress and strain of my 'sad' life.
Please, if you require any further help or advise re your 430bhp monster, may a suggest you register on barryboys.

Once again, a very immature response from a 35 year old business-man.

Will this be before or after you have visited Mr Burns??
Oh, and don't drive too fast on the way here, the roads can be a little twisty and with your dodgy standard brakes and ALL that power.
Besides that, your gluey tat may blow off.

:r azz: gues i aint mature so whatYou sound like a angry little man who aint getting any at the moment, i recommend you chillout and look at the bigger picture here. Someone was just trying give you sound advice but because you are such a tool and full of sh*t, you end up making a yourself look like a even bigger **** by
1) saying you are on your way, what happened there wingnut??
2) Claiming you had owned and rebuilt scoobs before, yet cant even sort out a abs sensor of even locate the fuse FFS!
Get a grip of yourself man, you say that your a 35yr old and run your own company yet you sound like the scum that is sits outside the jobcentre with a can of beer waiting for the dole check
If you have a cocklink fitted to your car i can guarantee that it starts flashing red when you get in it
