Ive got the same one on my 34. Hubby did all the other relocations of water bottles etc lol lol.

In regards to the nipple, Pirtek @ Lawnton on northside.

Take the old pipe in and they will measure it up for you. We got a brass nipple, they gave it to us for free but its no more than a couple of bucks. Drilled the hole and got a magnet to get all the shavings out and cleaned it all up. Screwed it in and then soldered around the outside to give it a good seal. Works a treat!

:P

lol lol

He spend a long time stuffing around on it ....

Made up a few brackets and trusty old zip ties. It was a matter of jiggering it around/up or down to get it into another spot in the area. You can see it a little bit through the side of my front spoiler but that didnt worry us as we were not really keen on cutting the bottle or replacing it incase we gotta put it back! You could paint the bottle black if it worried you. lol

:P

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
