I don't believe it to be one of the bearings as the abs fault indicator comes in the wee screen in the dash board before the car is moving. I read on some other posts that if it was a bearing, this would be indicated by the abs light going out at the initial start up check but coming on when the car starts moving.

I also checked the plug to the abs module under the battery as I have read corrosion in the contacts can cause issues however I couldn't work out how to remove the plug. I got the cover off but didn't want to pull on anything incase there is a catch or something and I end up breaking it.

I'm thinking now its likely to be the abs module or the wiring between the module and the sensors. I think a T4 session is likely to be the best and easiest way to find out whats going on. Just need to try and find out where has one.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

To remove that plug there is a slider clip under the cable of the plug. You will need a very fine grub screwdriver to start it. Pull away from the socket and plug in the direction of the cable, outwards if you like. You will feel it click as it releases the plug from the socket. There will be NO resistance to remove the plug. Be very carefully the pins are very small and thin.
