or am i the last one to know
The guy who lives across the road from me was over a few weeks ago. (he is a goog mechanic)
He asked how the rover was going, I told him I was sick ok the three warning lights coming on. He said, have you cleaned the wheels lately
He said if he doesn’t clean the wheels on his holden he has all sorts of electrical faults, he has to clean them about every six month.
Come over he said
He got his pressure cleaner and squirted it through the wheels, cleaning the breaks etc.
A lot of dirt/dust washed out
The next three times I used the car, I had no warning lights, that never happened recently.
The lights still do come on, but after 40/50 km
A vast improvement

I've never had this problem with my L322.

You mean the lights didn't go out?

Interesting.

Do your brakes squeal? I've heard that squealing brakes can cause ABS faults, not that I've had any problems myself in that regard.

Ooooooooooooo spooky,

unless he has really cleaned the reluctor ring, hall effect magnet, or whatever the abs uses to "see" wheel revolutions.

That would do it,together with a clean flux capacitor,and the elbow grease washed away.

bit of an update
the lights still do somes times come on.
i was driving around for about three days and the lights never came on.
i set off on a journey of about 60km each way, so i zeroed the trip meter.
eight days later the lights came on at over 500km
so i would say about 600km without the lights coming on
a great improvement

just a bit of an update
the warning lights on my car very rarely come on these days, i find it amazing

I have found on D2's and D3 that if the ABS light comes on for no good reason, that I also had a dodgy wheel bearing. perhaps jack up all wheels and check bearings for side movement.

FWIW,same thing happens on many different brand vehicles.
