Well issue is still there
Think maybe (this is my non mechanical minded head) that when we refurbed the alloys we didnt get the wheels balanced or alligned, maybe thats an issue?
Aside from that it sailed through mot and front brakes done so ill do the rears too and see if that helpz

No was doing it before the discs and pads were changedVtecmec wrote:Did you temporarily disable the ABS to rule out that it could be randomly kicking in? I had this once and it threw no warning codes.
We thought they were warped and needed replaced anywayz

Vtecmec is right,whip out your abs fuse or unplug your abs pump temporarily and see if it still happens. Firstly does your abs light come on on the dash then go out when you start the car?
