Brake misbehaviour - ABS?

Have replaced the bomb and a whole bunch of other bits on my beast and have
two problems;

1) Brake warning light is on constantly (This instigated a bunch of the
repairs)

2) Just prior to stopping it appears that the ABS attempts to control the
braking - a most annoying noise and fade result. I had initially thought
that this might be the hydraulic booster, but now I'm not so sure. With the
ABS switched off, the problem is gone.

Now, I personally am not fond of the ABS for performance driving, but it has
been useful on ... ... hmmm ... ?! ... oh heck!! I think I just need to make
it work!

Does anybody have an idea as to what might be the problem? There is a ready
supply of ABS conrol pumps in local yards, but I don't want to swap it out,
if it isn't the problem.

Looking for some ideas.

TIA

Cheers,

Peter
