Is this normal? Braking....

(1/2) > >>

wolliwuk:
When I brake gently with the clutch depressed I get this alarming banging feedback through the brake pedals as though something is loose.
If I brake a little more positively with the clutch depressed it is fine.
Other braking is normal and the brakes were last checked at MOT about 1000 miles ago.  I do very little milage and this seems to make no difference as to wether the brakes are hot or cold.
Occasionally this has made me stall the car  :driver:
Is it something to do with the ABS braking or what else could it be?

JPC:
if it is affected by the clutch, might it be something to do with brake fluid? maybe there is air in the system somewhere? but if its a banging, hmm... id get it checked sooner rather than later!

Greeners:
Does sound as though the ABS could have something to do with it....... :confused:

Top Cat:
The banging will definitely be the ABS, but i cant see what the clutch has to do with it. Something to do with the sensor is my guess I would be straight to the garage with that no question. let us know how you get on.  :chicken:

wolliwuk:
Now that I think more about it it can also happen when I dont have the clutch pressed just that I am going at a very slow speed.

Will talk to my local friendly garage, I just thought it may be something to do with the ABS as ABS is new to me
