this is a long story but i need help , yesterday i took my 2002 uk 300 to get my rear pads and discs changed and also braided brake hoses all round ,
the blokes at the garage took the discs off and fitted the new ones on and fitted the brake hoses on then when it came to fitting the pads it became clear the supplier sent the wrong ones so they fitted the old pads and discs on and blead the system again so i could get off .

on setting off home i noticed the brakes were a bit funny when im travelling at speed and breaking there spot on but as im grinding to a halt it feels like the a,b,s is kicking in but theres no light on the dash
so this morning i took it back and they re blead the system checked all the hoses for kinks , cleaned the sensor and also connected a code reader but found no faults but it hasnt sorted the problem .
im off back on tuesday so they can take the whole thing apart to have a look .

does any body on here have any clue as to what is making this happen or have had similar experiences , any help would be appreciated as i dont want to drive my car while its like this and with the weather getting better its annoying to say the least

cheers

anyone ???

Could be when they refitted the old discs and pads they weren't put back in the way the way they came out.

For example the outer pad could be on the inside or on the other caliper etc.
This can cause grinding as the surface of the disc, compared too the old pad wear, will be different, should do no harm until the new ones are fitted.

Just an educated guess though

Sounds like your rear brakes are not doing any braking effort. This causes the fronts to do all the work and usually the ABS kicks in sooner. Normally due to a siezed caliper on the back or perhaps the old pads are contaminated with rust or have not bedded in to the new discs.
Personal experience of same on my RB5.
