    Have you tried clearing the fault with the reader?
    Pulling the battery for a few hours can help sometimes too.

    Yes, recheck everything you've done as a loose connection can play havoc with these cars.

    Interesting... iirc, the traction control system only works up to 15 mph...?

    Perhaps the ABS reluctor ring is broke (it's on the CV, you can see it from behind the hub I believe)

    As Martyn said, Wobbly may be more help mate, I know a fair bit about P2 cars but the ABS issues of a P1 are definately in Wobbly, Pedro or TFM's realm of expertise.

    oooh!
    right...
    Have you been getting any other weird readings from the speedo? Scrolling info screen or twitchy dials?

    A loose driveshaft nut can cause this if you are sure the sensor and reluctor rings are good. whip off the wheel or centre cap to see the drive shaft nut and see if it is tight.

    It's bolt on the P2 mate, and won't cause this problem even if you remove the bolt all together.

    I'm wondering if this is the early stages of DIM failure...

    Search for dim failure and M-R-P in the same search and you will find out, from what I've read about it if you havnt already had it on your early P2 it's only a matter of time before it does fail, but that could just be forums for you don't always believe everything you read.
    Thanks

    Probably quite common then, just like the ABS tracs module on the P1
    Thanks
