Honda Civic MB6 Brake pedal 'feedback' issue. Help please!
Discussion
The problem went away when I disconnected the abs though? If the brakes needed bled again then disconnecting the abs shouldn't mess with that.
To be honest, I'm upgrading from motul dot 4 to decent dot 5.1 and booked into Honda on 1st of December to get that replaced with their pressure bleeder! All for £35 so money well spent and piece of mind. I will also check sliders and abs rings to make sure I have covered everything.

Sorry to say it, but your posts show a fundamental lack of understanding. Air in the system causing the pedal to "push back" 
Warped or otherwise out of true discs can certainly be felt through the pedal as well.
OP, check the reluctor rings on the CV joints, they are prone to cracking on the MB6 (had to replace both of mine). This more usually causes low speed activation of the ABS, but it's worth a look anyway.
Does the ABS fault light actually work, i.e. does it light up and go out when you switch the ignition on?
Yes the abs bulb works mate. Came on when I disconnected it and always at start up ignition stage.

For those who were interested, I have finally found the problem! I had gave up for a while as had too much on to properly look at my car and find out what the brake issue was.
It turns out that I had different tyre profiles fitted.
Front: 205/45/16
Rear: 205/50/16
This was causing the brake issue I described (badly I may add) and it is now rectified with new 205/45/16 tyres (free) and an I.O.U from the tyre company for another x2 tyres should and when I need them.
Turns out it was a catalogue of errors which led to wrong ones fitted. Apprentice/different people doing my tyres at busy times etc.
Thanks to all who have contributed to my thread. I appreciate it.
