Just a quick question for you guys out there....

on two occasions when I've had to break kinda suddenly (at low speeds appors20-30 mph) it seemed to me that the ABS kicked in but gave me the feeling that it actually locked up as it felt like the LC skidded to a halt... Has anyone else experienced this?

I done a few emergency breaks on the way to work ( we have a nice straight with no traffic on it so did it there) but the LC stopped nicely, nothing like what happened earlier. Now I know that the driver side caliper has been changed due to ceasing up, could what I'm experiencing be the passengers side caliper ceasing up on me?

Not having much luck in the 1st month... LC is in and out of the dealer ship - but at least they are working on it FOC. Be glad to get the niggly bits out the way.

Regards
Rob

See PM. Sounds like a possible dodgy caliper, possibly grabbing and not releasing the disk and confusing the ABS. Pity they olny changed on caliper. That's the mean system for you.  Mad
