I don't think so they are all fairly new.I cant feel anything through the pedal although last night when rolling up to a junction i touched the brakes to stop and i got the feeling and the noise when the abs is working.that was very strange as i was only rolling at say 5mph.

I've just noticed a mistake in my original post its actually the esp light that is on with the abs light.not the epc doh!!.I took the car up to the garage earlier and the following code came up 00285-abs wheel speed sensor,front right(G45) 30_00-open or short to plus.
Its going back later in the week for him to investigate further.This is the same sensor i replaced a few weeks ago.

Could do with shoppinit seeing this to say if a new ABS wheel sensor has to be coded into the car with Vagcom or not , as I don't know, or if there's a set procedure regarding clearing the fault/error first then changing the sensor

Doesn't have to be coded, but if you've swapped out a sensor that's being reported as being bad, and it's still being flagged then it points to ABS controller.

Oh right,i dont like the sound of that.I'm sure i've read a thread about replacing one of those and having them repaired but can't seem to find it.The garage is going to double check the sensor etc.Is there any way of checking if the module is faulty?.
Thanks Paul.

Just a quick update,I sent the control module away to bba reman who tested it and found a fault.I got it put back on the car today and have just been a 30 odd mile run around and it seems to have done the trick.Hopefully that should be it on the problem front for a while.Thanks for the help and advice.
Cheers Paul.
