snip 1997 se 900 turbo since replacing front tyres the abs has started functioning as soon as the brake pedal is pressed. reluctant to take it to the garage who put the tyres on as they are not saab specialists. could they have messed something up in replacing the tyres? regards snip was not the abs causing the problem although the effect from the brake pedal was exactly the same. turned out that both rear discs were very badly worn with pieces of metal actually rusted away from the disc surface giving different thickness of disc. it was this difference in thickness which was giving the impression of the pumping action associated with the abs working properly. an extra 100gbp on the service bill but well worth it. would recommend Griffin Autotechniks of boroughbridge. not much to look at but at least you can get in there with the mechanic, rather than be told the problem by the receptionist. (and much cheaper!) regards _______________________________________________________ Leyburn - Gateway to Wensleydale 54.18.38N 01.49.50W SE111905 200M AMSL
