Yes all lights come on and the 4 beeps as normal when ignition is turned. I haven't noticed any chewed wires around there.

Updates: I disconnected both negative and positive battery terminals a couple days ago. Came back to the car this morning, reconnected terminals, and it seems to be firing up again as normal. Any ideas why it did that?

ABS warning light comes up after a few minutes of running. But at least I have the codes now. So I think I'm back to the original problem, seems the front and back right ABS sensors are at fault? What would be the next step in regards to getting that sorted? If I can get it sorted before the NEC show there's still a chance I can get an MOT and get the black one there.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks again for all the advise guys.

Did you have any luck with an auto electrician, as they might be your best option, unfortunately I have no time between now and the show!!!

Update: had an auto electrician come down, fixed the chewed wires which has gotten rid of one of the fault codes for the right side front sensor. Right side rear one remaining. I have an appointment with him again next week for this. Getting there! Thanks for all the advise guys. There's still hope!
