Hello folks, long time no post....

The staff wagon has developed a small problem when coming to a halt.
slowing down in stop start traffic, below 5mph with the brakes on & smoothly coming to a stop -it suddenly feels as though the brakes have been released with a grinding sensation though the pedal for about half a second (a lot longer than the usual ABS pulses) . Making the car in front get closer quicker! It has happened twice. Needless to say I would really like it not to happen a third time!

My theory is that it is an ABS sensor playing up -the problem is where to start looking or do I need to look at all three sensors? If it?s not a sensor any suggestions.

Before you ask, no the ABS light comes on & goes off at start up as normal & can't say I have noticed it flashing whilst it is playing up.

Cheers in advance
Orlando

It will almost certainly be the front two ABS wheel sensors.

You can clean them up and it may get better, but generally it is only short term as it will return.

They will need replacing in the near furture
