Either the ABS ecu is on the way out or, if you`re lucky it could possibly be the sensor on NSF wheel as that one sends the signal to the speedo

If it is ECU, mine was, it is a fiddly job as per the guide, KW did mine - respect and thanks.
The errr good news is when you take off ECU to send to BBA for refurb (great job and quick) the engine/gearbox and power steering still works ok so you dont have to be without whilst waiting.
hope this helps.

is it worth checking the fuse is not loose in the holder. 27 is it? from memory, so probably wrong.

NS Rear mate  ;)

Undo abs ecu plug (thats a pita itself) ensure totally dry and spray plug and socket with contact cleaner refit plug.  If it doesn't cure it fraid its abs ecu breaked  :(
