my abs sometimes lights up but i just ignore it as sometimes it will come on and stay on for a journey, then when i go to use it it will come on then after a few seconds turn off and stay off for a week or 2

Was a cracked ring in the end.

If you remove the wheel find the wire that goes to the bulk head and follow it to the sensor on the hub. Just check there's nothing metal contacting the sensor. My abs light came on when the cv joint clip came loose and that caused the light to come on.

Thanks for this, Ive also noticed now that when turning the right hand side is making a cluncking noise when i turn. It sounded like the wipers were stuck at first, could this be connected or a different problem? x

Could be dirty/corroded/cracked rings, could be sensors... Don't get wet carpets do you? I had this problem in my 406 and it turned out water had gathered in the sound deadening below the carpet and had slightly corroded the plugs in the footwell. After taking them apart, drying and cleaning them the problem went away.
