Re: how do i find out if my car has abs
2 ways of finding out, On my car there is an ABS light on the panel of switches where the hazard lights are that says ABS.
Failing that, find a quite stretch of road, get up to about 20 mph and brake hard and fast and if the wheels lock you dont have ABS!!

Or pop your head under the bonnet to see if you can see the unit.

Or look in either of the front wheel arches and see if the ABS wire is coming out the arch and clipped into the suspension strut.
