Morning all, am posting this in the hope that what happened is due to an issue other than that which is apparent.

Was maneuvering the car at low speed in a fairly tight parking lot when another car caused a very rapid adjustment to my intended path. Speed was about 10kph. The rapid steering wheel wrench avoided a possible coming together and also resulted in the ABS warning light being activated. A friendly and trusted mechanic used his code reader which showed that the left front and right rear sensors were now faulty.

I readily accept that sensors do fail from time to time, but 2 failing in the same instant seems to be somewhat unusual. Perhaps an electronics guru with far more understanding of them than me is aware of a different reason for those failures before the sensors are changed without curing the fault. Thanks
 
You need sensors mate pretty common don’t forget to lube the hole they go in so they don’t rust
