I've found a company in Exeter who will sort the ABS whilst you wait, in around 2 hours. I am going to call them in the near future and see what they say.

I've had an email conversation with the company (actually in Collompton) and they have said that they can fix the ECU. I am calling them next week to book the car in and then drive from Blandford to Collompton in the D3, and they will remove the ECU, fix it and reinstall it whilst I wait. Not sure on lead times yet but will keep you posted.

I could do without spending any money right now, but I need this sorted before the MOT runs out otherwise it will fail

Well the D3 is going in on Monday to have the ABS ECU fixed, after speaking with them on the phone they are going to.

1) Remove the ECU
2) Disassemble the ECU
3) Using a Microscope examine and repair faulty connections
4) Reassemble, refit and test.

I then have a choice of them bleading the brake system and renewing the fluid leaving as is. Fluid change is due, so may get them to do that as I believe it is included in the price.
