Yay! it is now FIXED!
Put a new ABS Sensor in (didn't even have to remove the wheel), I just scooted under the vehicle on my back.
I don't expect it to last too long as the new one had the rubber positioning grommets in the wrong placed on the lead; and they didn't like being moved.
Volts reported at stationary are 2.25v (all the others are 2.33v).
Cleared all the faults with my Nanocom and she's all sorted.
A little test drive to the petrol station & back for a fill-up.
Job-Jobbed.

Sorry to hear that. Has it all got corroded in there and the teeth on the ring are all gnarly and the gaps have got bridged?

They will move with some effort, bit of glue there ,break the bond and they will slide along.

I wiped a bit of copper-ease on the sidewall of the new sensor to try and make it easier next time. But I was very careful to keep it off the sensor face.+1 on that with sensor that wont come out

i'll do that when i get the old one out.. i'm crap at things like that.. can't get good enough purchase with a lever.. mole grips will just squish it.. i'm not taking the hub off because I dont have the ability to put it back onI wiped a bit of copper-ease on the sidewall of the new sensor to try and make it easier next time.

Had to chisel one of the sensors out on mine and knackered the reluctor ring in the process, so new CV joint fitted, not expensive and not difficult.i'll do that when i get the old one out.. i'm crap at things like that.. can't get good enough purchase with a lever.. mole grips will just squish it.. i'm not taking the hub off because I dont have the ability to put it back on
Honing the rust out of the sensor mounting bush was the biggest problem, there was no way the new sensor would go in the hole it was that bad.
The rubber grommets just need a good tug and they move.

On the basis that it is "phucked" anyway I would just stab it through with a sharp file tang or similar and lever the bugger out.i'll do that when i get the old one out.. i'm crap at things like that.. can't get good enough purchase with a lever.. mole grips will just squish it.. i'm not taking the hub off because I dont have the ability to put it back on
If it breaks up, then wind all the bits inwards like a tube and keep pulling it outwards. The copper basket sleeves are sacrificial and you should get a new one with the new sensor.
I had to do that on my first changeout.
