Get your wheels off and check every thing as it should be, sensors, rotors, etc.
Nothing anyone can really say on here with out seeing/hearing/feeling the problem.

you will do mate, when an abs sensor goes, the car thinks one of thewheels is out of range so trys to compansate. the brakes bind, as if your scidding

all you can really do is replace the abs sensor thats damaged mate
i also have a 95 turbo. and in the middle of changing mine.
easy to do, just remember mate, when looking for sensors, the early ones are metal & not the full on plastic type. the metal casing ones are slight smaller diamitor

dont think they do on the classics, only the engine codes.
been after this information for a couple of years now.

i changed the abs sensors a while back, but its happening again
just a ball acke changing all 4.

the newer cars are obe2 plug in and it tells you, dont think theres such thing with the early classics
