what would you recommend i do mate? whats worst case mot scenario? cheers

test it by stepping on the brakes and you should feel the pedal pump. if your wheels lock up then take it to get fixed. it will only be a sensor but you need to know what one it is to replace

wouldn't want to say mate. £40/£50. I do all my own work so couldn't say how much things cost to get done at a garage.

The common reasons for abs faults are sensors or in the worst case the pump has died.

You need to get it scanned to see what is what.

I would guess £60 to £140 labour including bleeding the system.
