If you only want to disable it temporally, just unplug one of the
wires going to the wheel sensors under the bonnet, the system will
detect a fault & disable the ABS, & you wil have normal brakes
without ABS.

Great idea Shane,

There sure is a lot going on under the bonnet of a V12. Can you be
a little more specific and describe where one of these wires is
located so I can unplug it?

Thanks,

Chris
if you turn the front wheels so you can see the upper control
arms you should also see the brake line and a wire going through
the inner fender. Find the wire under the bonnet in the same area(
below the shocks upper mount about 3/4 way down the fender). If you
are unsure this is the wire trace it to the brake rotor area first.
The connection is a simple spade terminal inside a black boot. The
only other wire down there that looks the same is the 02 sensor I
believe. Both connection are made under the bonnet. Unplugging the
wire may turn on the abs light , but I am unsure about on the Jags.–
