lov, drum brakes -( EPB on RR), can swell with moisture and lock the wheels . if it continues to happen, release the EPB a notch with adjustment wheel. |

nino nino, it feels like the front is locking, but will check the rear drums. I did have rear drums lock on me once before as the shoes were U/S. I replaced the shoes and all was ok after that. Seems a stupid idea if you go through water and the hand brake shoes swell |

Speedo works, I think my hand brake shoe is sticking on and since the rear wheel wont rotate it must send a signal to the ABS to lock the other wheels also. I won't know until I pull the wheel off and check the rear brakes. |

I had the same thing after heavy rain and also car had been for it’s MOT so may have got upset with the wheels dangling down.

Holiday Chicken, may be dilectric grease is needed on these sensors to repel water? |

That could well be the answer or something along those lines

I removed the rear wheels today and checked the brake shoes for binding, even removed the disc to check the condition of the shoes. All was ok. I then unplugged the front sensors at the connections and all was dry, I gave them a spray of electrical contact cleaner just for good measure. I disconnected the ABS ECU plug and gave that a spray with electrical contact cleaner also.

Have a search about regarding the ABS module as they can fail and give some strange problems |

Until you have substituted both left and right abs sensor and checked wiring you are looking too deep. I would also check you have not pushed too much copper grease down the hole it will attenuate a very small timing signal if not careful. |
