Wheel Sensor

The problem is back, DSC ABS lights on, not all the time or every journey, only seems to come on when shunting in and out of car parking spaces, or moving very slowly, tried to persuade the wife that if we stopped going to shops and spending money the problem would go away. Scanner again says faulty f/l wheel sensor(new) Had her watch the live data whilst looking a parking space at Tesco and whilst moving the f/l sensor went to 0 for about 3 seconds then read same as others, needles to say lights came on. I will admit the sensor was cheap, £15 new, make unknown? Is this a case of buy cheap buy twice. Today I bought one from ECP discounted 60 odd % and was still £54 Pagid. Can I be expected to change it on Christmas eve, should I look in any other areas.
PS
Happy Christmas everyone.

It should come out ok because you've changed it recently and it's only a quick 10 min job to do
I wouldn't get a padgid one though
Look for one made either by standard or cambeier my experience is they're better quality

Why not Pagid?  Likely to be the OEM equivalent given BMW use Pagid braking parts and rebadge them.

Yea, I always thought that Pagid was right up there with the best. It's start price before discount was £104 which can't be far off BMW prices?

Surely that would be breaking some law or other, wouldn't think pagid would risk their reputation allowing inferior stuff being sold under their name?
