... so what do you wnat me to buy?

No expert, just don't trust sales droids, so I'm forced to do my own research :D

Honestly, if you're going to use your telly for sound and basic composite video for video, then a strathfield-priced player will do everything you want. CD/CD-R/SVCD/DVD/mp3s and region free at a low price. Like rev said, the mpeg chipset and board these players use (mostly zoran?) are off the shelf, so theres not much design for them to screw up.

If you're more of a name brand type person (safe way to go), then low end Panasonic and Pioneers would be my pick. Panasonic may not play mp3s but both should be region free (ask the salesman and bring a test disc just in case). Price for them should be similar ~$350. If you have a Myer or DJ shareholder card, ask them to price match and use the card. Otherwise, break the balls of a local retravision or hardley normal sales droid for a good price.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
