Seriously p*ssed with ABS

I'm thinking about throwing in the towel. Nothing that I've done over the
last 3 weeks has cured the ABS on my Ur-q. I've remounted the sensors more
times than I care to remember, have a standing order with Centurion Audi for
those little white plastic caps, I've used near a gallon (Imp.) of brake
fluid, replaced the master cylinder and all the brake hoses. Things are fine
at speeds above 20mph, but below that the ABS switches off every 100yards or
if I make a tight turn. Braking from any speed is ok up to the last moment
before the car stops - then the ABS kicks in with groans and whines, a rear
row. When I pull away from a stop the noise continues until the speed
reaches 15-20 mph.
The car has a MoT test booked for first thing tomorrow but whatever the
outcome I think that I'm going to spend next weekend fitting new outer cv
joints and another set of those plastic caps....
Regards,
Jim Haseltine
