Hi guy and girls,

Only recently my brake pedal is starting to shake and grumble when pressed close to the floor without any hard force.

The abs light stayed on a week or so ago for a day or two and went off ever since.

It is abs sensor related?

Abs rings? And ecu?

I'm doing 1500miles to France and back next week and don't want and issue.

Any ideas peeps?

I'd be checking the condition of the pads and discs as a first step.
Check that the ABS light bulb is good.

Front discs and pads are good condition with good meat. Rears are a little pitted discs but good pads and within the last 10months have had recond calipers fitted.

I'll check out the bulb, had the cluster out last week to check out dodgy speedo. Diff cable is working, bash the dash and the speedo works if doing motorway driving.
