Help and Advice needed please.

So what I thought wasn't going to be a problem may be the end of our dream before it's even started.
We purchased a 2004 fiat ducato swift 630Helpg on taking it out for the first time I was not happy with the breaks.
But was told you will soon get use to it as she is old and heavy 3.9t, which I accepted and I did understand.
But me being me got my macanic to give it the once over, which he said rear discs and pads needed replacing.
Also the weight compansating valve was not working and also needs replacing.
So today I had a call asking me does your van have ABS? No idea!!!!!!
Fiat no longer make these parts, so now I need a serial number off the old one (if I can find it and is it still there).
My macanic was told by a well known motor home supplier we do have a few but if none of them fit then the van won't ever pass an mot.

Hi and welcome 🙂

The joys of running older vehicles,

This may well help.. It a link to the parts manual

The chassis number of your camper.. Also seen on the V5 logbook should help lots
