Sweet. Cheers mate. Thanks for the help.

By the way, I dont know if the photo worked but by right clicking on it it should open up.

If I'm against picketing, how do I show it?

yeah got it now.  Thats the chap.

Looks like the electrical connector is on its right.

this implies that there is an ABS fuse too - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=74087.0

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Javalin, you were bang on mate.

I don't know what the fuse does exactly but it was one of the two 30a fuses at the top of the fuse/relay box that was blown. Once that was replaced the handbrake light returned to normal and vagcom could finally speak to the ABS. It kicked up a fault that once it was cleared allowed the ABS light to go out.

Finally, after 7 months of rebuilding the car, I can arrange an MOT next week. Gotta love this forum!

Much appreciated J

Next, getting the abs light off my 206 gti...
