Seems i've given you guys a real puzzler  ;). Tyres are the same as the rear and I cant see any fuses blown. The guy doing the tyres had to use a big hammer to remove the locking wheel nuts as the key broke but he didnt appear that rough. Nothing simple ever happens to me  :'(

No puzzler - classic signs of abs ecu failure mate.
Options as outlined by Entwood above.
I went second hand option - if you go this way make sure you get exact same part nş as yours, and if possible from exact same model or else will require Tech2 reprogramming.  Part Nş is helpfully underneath!!!  Expect to pay £40-£50 for a good used one.

Good luck with it :-? ;)

if tyres are the same size then there appears some serious bill in the horizon..

Before I go spending on a new ABS ECU, would this also cause the power steering to fail as it does at exactly the same time?

Cheers

Power steering, Speedo, ABS, TC all get information from the ABS ECU related to speed of the vehicle.

The ECU failing is taking away that speed information .. so your steering goes heavy, your speedo stops, and the TC/ ABS lights come on.

IMHO classic ABS ECU problem ... it is EXACTLY what I had on the old miggy .. fixed by the bbs-reman repair  :)
