Default possible ABS problem with the 3dr

when i'm driving normally its fine, its just when i come down to almost stopped the pedal sort of vibrates and buzzes and then goes hard, the brakes still seem to work ok although when the pedal goes hard you only touch the pedal and you go through the screen .

Then when you speed up it goes away.

Any help would be appreciated

It sounds like something to do with the front wheel sensors as Nick has pointed out which does make a bit of sense as i've just had the sensors out to do the wheel bearings so i am going to check that they have gone back in ok, the manual does acctually say that you should use a new o-ring and lots of grease when replacing the sensors which i didn't do so will have them out again, if theres no difference then i shall replace them.
