Rover 25 1.6 Auto 2003

I have recently had my third yearly service on the above car at my local Caffyns which used tgo be a Rover dealer. When I took the car home the ABS and brake light came on and stayed on.\ I reported this to the garage and asked them to log this as my 3 year warranty was due to expire within a few days. To cut a long story short this happened on

22nd March and I just got my car back on Friday 5th May. Caffyns have investigated the fault and say it could not have been caused by the service. I have had to pay =A3233 for their "investigations" and they have reported back they cannot find anything wrong,the car has been road tested and was now ok. Needless to say on Saturday the abs and brake light came on again! This only happens when a speed in excess of 60mph is reached.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem and if so how was it resolved. I still strongly feel the service played a large part in this problem but of course cannot prove this.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!!

Thus involving removing the wheels. Suspected sensor failure, then.

Does this mean you think something which happened in the service could have caused this sensor failure TheABS system has been sent away for diagnosis but returned all ok but the lights are back on again

Yes but the garage isn't at fault unless they physically broke it.

Get someone to check to make sure your wheel rims aren't bent.

Yes.

Sent away? Hmm. Plugging it into the diagnostics should report what is at fault...
