Speedo and abs light will be the driver side abs sensor

Either

Break in cable- possible rubbing on tyre or poor connection in connector just inside wheel arch protector. Connector is blue

Faulty abs sensor

Or

Faulty wheel bearing ring ( the bit the sensor reads)

Try the obvious first.

The sensor can be ( in fact usually is) a pain to get out and often you need tondrill out. It is VERY easy to nick the bearing when doing this. If this happens abs light usually goes out but you get pulsing through brake peddle at very slow speed when braking.

If you can get access to a press it is just as easy to change bearing as well to be sure. Neither sensor or bearing are very expensive.
