ABS ring

Would anyone know how much it would cost to replace an ABS ring on a '00 Nissan Primera, parts & labour? Thanks.

Any idea on this lads? Have to make a decision on a potential purchase by tomorrow and this info will determine if I take the car or not. Thanks.

Have a (silly?) question about the ABS on a '00 Primera P11.

I assume both drive shafts are supposed to have reluctor rings on them? I was looking at one today that has an ABS light on the dash and it appears that the one on the offside front wheel is missing, hence the dash light. Does this sound correct?

If it is missing, how much would it cost to get the drive shaft replaced? Drive shafts are only about €30-€40 on eBay , about €100 on the likes of micksgarage.ie. Thanks

The ring is on the CV joint. The get chipped by stones easily.
Best to replace the whole CV joint I think. Probably 100€ ++ to replace each.

Found the CV joint on eBay for €15 and used Parcel Motel for some cheaper shipping

Local mechanic will replace the joint for €50.

Buy a good CV boot, the one supplied may be a cheap one and will probably rip and feck the CV up again.

CV joint kit arrived today. Boot cover seems to be quite sturdy considering the price of the kit. The grease bag burst in transit though

Boot might seem sturdy to you, but the joint is cheap for a reason and the easy way to cut the cost is put a cheap boot with it. Long term I think you would be better off getting a good boot, the joints tend to fail short term due to the boots ripping and letting the grease out and dirt in.

So you'd recommend a separate boot from a motor factors?

Yes. Get a good quality one. Less chance of it splitting on it own.
