Default ABS Problem on a 2.0 sport

Hi folks. I've not been around for quite some time, no, I've not been inside lol, I've recently got the car back on the road and I seem to have a problem with my ABS. If anyone's passing, Dewsbury Road, LS11 any chance you could pop in and have a quick look and see what you think ? Thanks.
I'd try to describe the problem but don't really know where to start. Making funny juddery noises and just don't seem right to me.

Hi, it's fine under hard braking, it only does it just as I'm coming to a stop or travelling really slowly ie approaching junctions etc.

Warning light on ?

You really need a "black box" to check it out, RE Motorsport at Elvington or K.T.Greens are nearest.

P.S. Plan B, go out and give it some exercise !

No, ABS light is out but it did come on a couple of times and when it was on the juddery thing stopped.
I gave it quite a bit of exercise last weekend driving to Aberdeen and back but it's not got any better.

Daft as it may sound ask Gary at Kwik Fit if they have any diagnostic gear to plug in !

Tell him I sent you, or maybe not !
