A particular warning light that depicts a car skidding or probably wobbling keeps coming up on my peugeot 406 (1996 model). It usually comes on at around speed of 30miles/ph and it might stay on throughout my journey or go off later. ps what could be the cause?

It could be either the ABS or the ESP numerous causes wrong or odd tyre size,faulty ECU,wheel sensor failing(cheapest option)ABS rotor failing.

Possibly caused by a poor connection on one of the sensor plugs, quite common on Citroens of that era.
