The situation: a steady ABS failure light followed by an unsuccessful attempt to clear the "fault code" by a technician at Hamman's in Cape Town. The answer: replace the ABS pump. The problem: R18 000 for a new pump plus R2 000 to install. Obvious possible solutions: a used or rebuilt pump sourced in SA, a new, used or rebuilt pump sourced from the USA/UK. Questions: can the pump be rebuilt? Is this pump used by more than one model or more than one model year?

The BMW technician said he has seen several 2007 GS's with failed ABS pumps recently. The number of kilometres on the affected machines varies widely so it seems to be more a matter of age than use. That seems odd to me.

Any comments or suggestions (other than change brands)?
