Hi therat622,
i have had T5's for a dozen years or more. Had similar problem with 2 of them.
Check ABS sensors are clean on the wheels.
But i have sent two ABS units to a guy called Victor Rocha in California and had them repaired /upgraded for what I thought was reasonable money. Just follow what he says on his website. About £120 if I remember correctly. If you remove the ABS unit with the correct t o r x socket it is easy. He shows how on website. Car will run and brakes work without the ABS unit. I found it much better in snow for stopping that way but thats aside. Insurance & risks running without unit would be all yours of course! 2 to 3 weeks timescale. But no problems when units upgraded and fitted.
Kind regards FishingTed
