Thanks for the reply dan.. it basically came on after having todo an emergency brake and then it would come on when i put the ignition on and then stays on without going off when i start the engine BUT i have just come back from a long drive and it seems to have gone off after some braking..

Anyone around east midlands do VAGCOM? PM me please of your whereabouts and how much..

odd may have just been a bit of grit in your ring. it happens sometimes and goes between the sensor and speed sensor ring
i think i love you.....
