When I had a split ABS ring , the lightest of touches on the brake pedal would trigger the ABS , then lights on the dash. Once I had the lights on the dash I could drive it and the pedal wouldn't judder anymore when pressed. New ring , job sorted.

Easy enough DIY job?

I got my local garage to do it as it was in for something else at the same time .
If you search on here or ebay . I bought mine from J+R who sell the driveshafts . They only cost about 3 quid

Is there a way to tell which brake is the issue or do you just do both, watching some videos how too do it and I think it's going too save me hours if I just give it to a garage to do, need a service anyway

I just noticed yours is a 1.6 . I don't know which ABS ring yours will be . If you take it to the garage they should know and like I said , they're only a couple of quid for a new ABS ring so don't let them tell you it's a silly amount of money for the part .

Havent removed the wheel and don't know if I could tell just by doing that

I changed mine a couple weeks ago, very easy job!
- Slaken the hub castle nuts on the ground (30mm).
- Jack both sides up on axle stands, wheels off.
- Remove the castle nut, and both bottom strut bolts (21mm).
- Remove the driveshaft you might need to use a mallet or punch to help knock it out the hub.
- Pull the driveshaft to one side and knock off the old ring, if it's cracked it should come off quite easy.
- Clean up the drive shaft using a steel wire attachment or rub it down by hand to remove any debris.
- Put a thin layer of grease inside the new ring and on the shaft to help it on, slowly tap it on evenly try not to damage the ring.
- Refit in reverse order, make sure to re-torque everything (Castle nut 280nm, strut bolts 180nm)

I changed both rings whilst I was at it, for the sake of a couple pound it's worth doing especially if you have camber bolts etc as the cost of having to get it realigned in the future out weighs it.

Hope that helps.
