We have no snow where i am.. we must have the least amount of snow in all of the UK.. North and South of here had quite a bit recently..

though i did find it funny that 5 inches of snow shut one of Heathrows runways for a couple of days.. and yes, i said 5 inches not 5 feet!
I don't even think they plow the runways at O'Hare for 5 inches of snow

when it was readily available, it was around low-200s? Now, I don't know.. seems like it is hard to find.. maybe people are selling it on eBay.. not sure..

No. If you saw on Jalopnik awhile ago of the Top Gear Guys in New York, it was that episode. They did a road trip in a GT3RS(hammond) SLS(jeremy) 458(james) from Virginia to New York. It was a great episode. I have to wait for people to record it in the UK, then upload it to the internet where I can download it.

Xmas episode airs December 26th.

Quick braking question guys. Yesterday I was on a compacted dirt road and found myself in a hard braking situation. Car is a Nissan Pathfinder 09. Disc brakes all around with ABS. Towards the end of the stop, the brake pedal actually kicked back 3 or 4 times.

A little while later I was braking (low speed, normal braking) going into a corner to make a right into a parking lot. There was a bit of water (like a run off trickle) on the road which matched the end point of braking. The front of the car slid slightly and the pedal bucked again, only once though.

I've not experienced this before. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Tires are just about ready to be replaced as well.
ABS systems in modern non-enthusiast vehicles are hypersensitive. Especially when you're cruising around on bald tires and in low-traction situations. At low speeds the brakes act a lot "stronger" in such situations, especially in corners (right front tire likely lost traction in the second example; front tires likely lost traction briefly in the first). Put some decent rubber on it and it will likely fix itself. There's (likely) nothing wrong with your brakes.
ORIGINAL: redfisher1974

With my GM van when my front bearings are shot, my ABS starts to kick in at low speeds, causing the pedal to pulse just before I come to a stop every time. This is fixed buy replacing the bearing hub Assembly. Seems when the bearing gets a little play the air gap between sensors gets to wide and it activates the ABS.
That's because the sensor wasn't reading wheel speed properly. Not entirely related, but relevant enough to quote[&:]
