ok well ive found out its the front abs sensors that cause it!!!
i was parked up, and suddenly turned the wheel fast and the light came on!

weird thing is it only really comes on in the cold??

Sh1te!

its weird though, only comes on when i go over a slope!!

probably worth cleaning the rear drusm then as they easy to take of, is the sensor easily located inside the drums? and what should i use to clean??

the drums and shoes themselfs have not been changed in donkey years, ive had the car for 5 years!! so could this also affect it??

could be any of them. mine did that flickering on and off for a while then it went altogether one day when I was approaching a que of traffic! pedal went funny and started juddering, braking was shit and stopped about 3 inches from the car infront in a cloud of tyre smoke.

not fun.

I have since removed the ABS system completely. if I were you I would remove the fuse just incase. if id does decide to go under braking it could be nasty.

well i had the front two wheel bearings done! so u think they will be ok??

and that it could be the rears??

my handbrake light comes on now and again round corners ?

Water in one of the sensors causing it to make contact?

i checked it last week and it was max!

i have noticed the ABS light seems to come on during cold weathet! or just a coincidence???

check level

every time i go over a slope or raise in road slowly forwards or in reverse e.g drive way

my ABS light comes on!!!
if i restart the engine it turns of????

any ideas guys??
