Sensor refurb
The sensor itself will be fine....it will either be dirty or the wiring from the sensor has break in it.....if the sensor won't budge you have the following options...
1. Remove outer cv joint and hammer out sensor 2. Replace the wiring and if need be remove outer cv joint and give the sensor a clean from the inside Just depends how particular you would like to be.

If the picture is anything to judge by then it is for PF car. They claim it is for 1994-2003 which is clearly not right as PF and FL sensors are different. Top PF, bottom FL

Thanks guys, advice much appreciated.
The FL sensor picture posted by ainar looks even more like the fitted one as there is no shiny metal collar and the top of the sensor has an offset screwhole where the retaining screw goes. Looks like I need to look harder! The old unit is budging slightly. I will have a further goe this pm to see if I can finally remove it - it will have had a further 24hrs with pentrating oil on it.

However, having looked again, the picture above of the FL sensor shows a double pigtail - one obviously the ABS sensor and the other looking like the brake pad wear sensor connection. Mine (FL,2002) has two entirely separate cables for these systems. I have checked the part number on the installed ABS sensor cable which is 4DO 927803 suffix "E" .

Not sure if it's the same on the D2 as the D3, but my PF had what I thought was a failed ABS sensor, it was a bugger to get out and the replacement wouldn't go in. turned out the bearing had failed causing the reluctor ring to move closer to the carrier
