Default Brakes Help...

Hey guys

Having problems with the AU Series3 Futura again. There is a vibration coming through the brake pedal at slower speeds. (like in the driveway)
The ABS light keeps coming on also.
Now there is a fairly major vibration and grind noise coming from the drivers side front wheel. Enough for me to park it and have the missus use my car.

Its had new rotors and pads on the front and I recently pulled out the ABS sensors and cleaned them.

Any ideas would be great.

Cheers in advance.

Check for a sensor error by getting a mechanic with a diagnostic unit to plug in to the car and check for error codes for a start.

Pull it apart again and check for any fresh metal dust or marks to see if there is any fouling.

Might be an idea to make sure the brake pad shims are ok.
