(023mm might go at a push)

Yes that is the magnetic reluctor ring. That all looks good to me Pete.

I've reunited the hub/strut and bolted it back on the car, but have not got much further. I am doing both sides, and I'm also changing the brake discs/pads whilst I am about it - with family/work commitments it may be another 2-3 days before it is all done and back on the road. I'll keep you posted.

Well ive done everything i can think of with this ABS sensor...Ive moved
the sensor away from the rota & moved it closer to the rota but its still got the ABS kicking in at lo speed..Im begaining to think the problem lies with the hub ....To add insult to injury the blue under the bonnet connection was that brittle its crumbled
with all the pushing & pulling....Whats that they say about one job leading to another job

You need to check the sensors output with the wheel jacked up, maybe check all four wheels for missed pulses..

Harry my neighbour is an AA man & he plugged his diagnostic computer into the car & when i spun the wheel it was registering on the computer so i have to assume it was picking up the pulses...The front passenger side is the only one that is working its self

Nope, no good spinning the wheel - some faults only show up when the wheel is turned very slowly.

I've had a sensor pick up every magnetic segment at speed but slow the wheel down and it started missing the odd segment.

Just out of interest can a t4 determine which sensor is faulty as I have the abs light activated on my club ?

Should do Chris, but if you need a hand I can bring my lead and multimeter round.

Half way through putting up a conservatory this week but I'm sure I can sneak out for a bit without the Memsab noticing any lack of progress.
