I have a pretty reliable honest local garage who are good. £20 to fit an exhaust, £15 to for a new coil on the missus Renault Scenic.
How will I know I don't need a full drive shaft though? thats the problem.
Only really need a new shaft if the splines are damaged or if it's completly snapped!

Any idea how it may be related to the speedometer?
I would assume that if it was the ABS ring/CV joint etc then the ABS light should go out once sorted so it shouldn't need any diags done on it or reset?
The car reads the speeds through the ABS system so i have heard.
Correct
Later multiplexed car's like the OP's have no speed sensor on the gearbox as they get there speed & mileage data from the ABS system.

Would my speed sensor be on the gear box then? I have had lots of abs problems but never had the speedo go.
You wont need a drive shaft to fix the abs problem its just some garages tell you that you do.

Just because you have an abs fault, it doesnt always stop the speedo working as there's 4 speed sensors feeding the abs system.
