Just read that thread and it sounds very similar to what's happening with mine.
I would have thought they'd have engineered a system that doesn't cause wheel lock due to a faulty sensor or ecu or whatever. It's very bad form.
I mean, it did it to me going for second gear, what if I'd have been on the motorway? (as I was for an hour the night before this happened) plenty of death or almost deadness I would've thought.
The problem is so weird. It really felt like a transmission lock up. I had a similar thing happen in my old Vauxhall viva. The planet gears collapsed and the whole thing locked just like this. Suppose it's my own fault for jumping to conclusions, I just heard so many horror stories of IRDs blowing, I thought it was my time.
Anyway, enough supposing, like I said, I'll go through the ABS system one sensor at a time tomorrowand trace the wires and report the findings.
