So a few months ago I took the range for its mot (passed with flying colours) but on the way home the abs light and warning light came on and I had no brakes to speak of so I replaced the abs pump and all was fine but this weekend I was on the way to West Midlands safari park and the lights came on again for about 3mins then went off but then half way around the safari park on came the lights and no brakes again anyway finished going round the park then parked up left it for the day then on the way home on come the lights again then they went off again after about 3-5mins then today was driving for about 30 mins and they came on again then went off anyone got any ideas?

Pump pressure switch if I were to guess.

ABS sensor on hub/axle (loose connection)? Another guess; and its not even Christmas yet.

That should not give you no brakes.ABS sensor on hub/axle (loose connection)? Another guess; and its not even Christmas yet.
Is there a way of testing the pressure switch?

Difficult if it's intermittant. I'd put a lamp across the pump to check that it's cycling. It should run around every fifth application of the brakes.
Ok cheers il look into that

Brake light switch would be my guess

How would that cause loss of brakes?
