Thanks for all replies everyone, have my local mechanic booked next Tuesday and have told him the advice so that where we'll start.

Just a wee update to say the advice about my brake pedal pulsing was spot on, it was caused by rust in the magnetic ring on the rear wheel bearings which has been rubbed down along with some light rust on the backplates which were also rubbed down and treated (they are still in excellent condition otherwise).

Everything was all cleaned up and now works perfectly.

Thanks all for the advice which was 'Hit the nail on the Head' accurate.

Good news.

Good news you caught it in time.

If driven for longer sometimes the reluctor ring/seal gets so far worn away, only solution is a new bearing to restore a plausible signal

We always keep the reluctor rings from worn noisy bearings which saves customers a fortune as they can be carefully removed and reused on a good bearing

Also the quality of some new bearings out there is dire so where possible if an OEM bearing is quiet we are reluctant to change them for an inferior new one !!

Mine started doing this after i went through a huge puddle... im guessing rust has been forced off by the water blasting through the car and caused this issue... is it always the rears that do this?
Will whip the rear apart and give it a good clean this weekend if thats the case!
