Mitsubishi Galant
29. Mar 2010 at 22:29

Had new brake pads fitted. Brakes feel like the abs is kicking in when coming to a final halt, you can feel it through the pedal. Been suggested that it may be a fault with the abs sensor/s ? are these expensive? I am not really willing to spend much more on this car, been saying that for 2 years Roll Eyes

It has been suggested that if I remove the abs fuse this will rectify the fault, albeit loosing the abs Undecided

Any suggestions please.....

Is this an easy repair then Mark? The car has been stood for several months now, which may then explain the problem. I have had it out and about a little but was originally took off the road because of the brake pads, not the abs problem..

maks no odds if they are standing or not.

You need to inspect them and look for damage, cracks and missing teeth

Its a mitsubishi so nothing will be a cheap and easy fix in this department sadly

Ours is V6 Auto, when I used it for work I used to average 27mpg, lots of running around the town....

And it is certainly a quick car... Thumbs Up!

My Citroen C4 Grande Picasso averages 46 MPG in diesel semi auto.....

If you think of Clarkson saying a Capri is a Cortina in a party frock, isn't the Gallant the Cortina compared to an FTO being the Capri?
My brother used to have a Mivec FTO semi-auto ...... it could shift. For FWD car is wan't bad for torque steer & cornered billiantly Thumbs Up!
