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

had the same problem. replaced front sensors and cured it. i'm not normally one to just change things without diagnosing that they are at fault, but in that case i had some kicking about the garage so it made sense to try them.

Its funny you should say that as the problem has been there since i replaced the front wheel bearings and obviously the sensors had to come out, can they go in wrong in any way?

when fitting the sensors make sure the surface they mount to is clean and i mean shiney metal clean 1/2 a mill can make a big difference
