Well....I haven't replaced the reluctor rings just because I've been busy and I suppose also because as soon as this problem started they were the first thing I checked. I looked at them all closely for cracks and cleared out all the rust etc. They are apparently in surprisingly good condition. Plus I would have expected a different fault code and ABS light if it were the rings? Something like an implausible/erratic signal from a specific sensor. I've had reluctor rings go a long time ago and I'm sure that's what happened then. Why would it be giving me an implausible signal from the stop lamp switch if it were the rings?
If the rings go then you don't get any fault codes generally. The sensor just detects what it thinks to be lock up (it's not it's an erroneous detection from the teeth not reading consistently) and then just pulses the ABS.
And I'm still not sure why you went to all the effort to reinstall IE to get back on this site when as I said before you'll get a much better response over at www.theroadster.net
