Unfortunately nobody replied to that part of the question. It does concern me as my 240-1991 does have that ABS light on all the time(after I reach about 10 km/hr).

I know that the left front sensor has no resitance at all; I take it that it is gone and I need to get a new expensive sensor.

There seem to be no after market for that particular part.

Again, if a line breaks what happens?

My 240-1982 is half protected with a double line system. I take it that in the 1991 there must be some device in the ABS module that keeps the brake fluid from seeping out except the one line sector that is defective.

If not THEN THE ABS LIGHT ON MEANS YOU DON'T LOOSE ONLY THE ABS EFFECT.. BUT YOUR LIFE AND YOUR PASSENGER'S LIFE IS AT STAKE.

This is something we all need to know... wright?

Thanks for any reply.
