Either a faulty sensor or some other problem. I had a ABS sensor damaged and replaced by a dodgy "Audi specialist" and had the same problem. The ABS system is also used as a reference for the electronic control on the centre differential as if any wheelspin is detected the centre diff will lock up 100%. I went through 2 sets of tyres before I got to the bottom of it and found a decent engineer who set up the ABS sensors properly for £30. Also I read the V8 manual and realised that to stop the diff locking you just have to apply the brake very slightly which switches the diff lock off completely. This function also stops above 20-30 mph. Post Extras
