Brake Feel Strange

Has anyone had a problem with there brakes 4 times now I have noticed that they have felt strange (juddering ) while braking at low speed, it is worrying me a bit. Hubby says it could be the ABS but I wasn't going fast. First time I noticed it I will pulling onto our drive so wasn't going fast and a couple of times whilst driving into work ( I had turned off the main road and was slowing down to stop at the barrier)

Could be ABS. Seems to kick in more on my R56 at lower speeds than it did on my old MINIs.

How many miles have you done Sue?

The R56 I learnt in if you touched the brake a bit sharpish at any speed, the ABS would cut in, and it drove me up the wall

Totally different to the Fiesta (has no ABS but never locks up )
