paulob1 4 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks for that, I have just rebuilt the front end no leaks and pads and brakes all good, all new poly bushes front and rear, it did this before I had the rebuild so all of the more obvious issues have been addressed. It only happens when the abs starts pumping, it sort of releases the brakes for a split second and I seem to have no brakes then it seems to apply it more to the off side brake than the near side brake, so pulling me to the right violently at speed.....would that relate to a pressure switch on that wheel...or a cable or something... I have all the leads and programs i will take another look and see what it tells me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulob1 4 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 okay its the sensor on the near side wheel, it is all broken up and not reading properly...getting one ordered and will be back on for next week...whoo hoo, will have goodish brakes.. Has anyone upgraded to 6 pots at all...is it worth the hassle.../cost... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulob1 4 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 nope its something else, the car has an abs problem, when the abs is off the brakes work fine, no pulling no odd sensations and no problem with pulling right. with the abs on its night mare time, ie i get heavy unloading of the brakes as if they have come off completely and it pulls to one side usually to the right as if she has been sent there in a hurry, very dangerous. I am nervous to leave the ABS of all the time but think this is my only choice....is it likely that its a weak pump or is the the ABS unit itself...any ideas...it makes the car undriveable to be honest...

fflyingdog 57 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Can you read any error codes off the abs ecu? Sounds as if its commanding one side to release,also (stupid question) but you have checked all the speed sensors are good/wiring etc? Quote Simplest things first. Link to post Share on other sites
paulob1 4 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 yes thats what it feels like to me...i have not bothered with the ECU error codes, but will get Dave to have another look, one of the sensors was damaged and we thought that would solve the problem but it has not....

ramjet 1,098 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 There is an option available from Lotus Marques in Victoria, Australia. I believe someone on here also had found an option. If you search in here you may find something. Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.
