Is this:-

BREAKS as in lunch
BREAKS as in not working
BREEKS as in !!!!!! thy
or
BRAKES as in stopping?

we get what he means no need to pull up on spelling. not in school here.

Faulty ABS sensor/chiped ABS ring on the cv joint can make the brake pedal give you "feedback" (brake pedal judders when depressed) similar symptoms to a warped brake disc.

MFR gets a free drink from me here
exactly what he describes and today i was told by mechanic that before i picked it up, he tested it and a warning light(i think engine or electronic management light on dashboard) came in. he sent it to diagnosis computer and the light went.
he also has replaced a sort of plastic part near the ball points( part of steering wheel system..near the front wheel) which i think he has managed to move any sensors or so)
Will send it back monday , but hope it wont be dangerous to drive.. and hope its just a computer fix..as i know new sensor cost a bit.
Ps; sorry for spelling, i know im foreigner though that s not a good excuse! it doesnt help that my laptop keyboard is up for refurbishment
thanks for help guys

Don't worry about your spelling, you're doing fine, we get what you mean. These forums are full of people with nothing better to do than pull others up on things like that. Just ignore it.

exactly what I was going to mention, if it's just back from a service whats the bet the mechaninc has damaged one of the ABS sensor rings.

I'm fairly sure you're less novice than me, I'm 18.

went back today- the mechanic kept saying abs- abs so i got him for a ride..went on a bend faster than usual and did show him how abs fels and works
but he still said abs, normal stuff on this weather.

Got the van to another shop further down and the guy wasnt bussy so checked it straight away.
Same side where the first mechanic replaced that plastic part, he found the ring not placed exactly in the right spot and only pushed and cleaned it a bit - no problem anymore.

I gave him his hour's rate =50 quid and demanded 50 quid from mechanic, which sounded too puzled to even argue
