Hi, After some advice. Basically when ever i brake hard the abs and red brake warning light come on. its ok when I brake lightly just lights up when braking hard. I posted a thread the other day and some people advised it could be the accumulator.

However i have had the system bled in an attempt to avoid the hefty accumulator costs and the guy who did it said there was not as much energy in the front brakes as the back, any ideas why?

I just want to be sure its the accumulator, i don't want to be £100 down with the same problem.. Please help!

I have a couple of old accumulators. One I replaced while eliminating a series of ABS probs : the other I got when I bought a complete ABS pump off a scrapper.
You're welcome to both for the price of the postage if you want to try them.
