    Abs judder

    Thanks for the prompt reply mate, its just odd because as soon as it warms up there are no problems......Thought dirty or trapped sensor but that would mean the problem would be repeated on a journey surely?

    Abs judder

    Hey, been putting this niggle off thinking it would go away, still there though. when starting occasionally I will drive to a turn and brake, for a brief moment the abs kicks in and I really have to push hard on the pedal to stop, a few occasions left me close to messy pants :) Not had wheels...

    Thanks for all the ideas, yes Cam belt just changed.....Tyres standard, whats your thoughts? I am mainly using it for work in the city so not ideal but on weekends try to get a nice 60 mile trip out of her, it has to be something as I have heard so many others say about mpg being around 22-25...
