Default Escort Cosworth ABS problem

Every know and again i get the hazard light and the ABS light on, and then my brake peddel goes rock solid.

Is this likely to be one of the ABS sensors?

Thanks

Check the wheel sensors & pickup rings on the CV joint. Mine would come on at 70mph & it was down to some damaged teeth on the OS CV joint.

I don't think the brake pedal will go rock solid when a wheel sensors fails.
Could be the electric pump on the unit. They are known to fail.
