Thank you, that was my thoughts about the ABS. I have sourced a good condition low Mileage VCU that is affordable, will maybe buy it and fit it while I try the overhaul on the current one. Inquired from Land Rover and they can supply a brand new one at R10K which is 614 Pounds about.

When fitted don't forget to do the one wheel up test to make sure it's within the limits

Here have a look at this
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/vcu-torque-test-results.109486/
The short answer is once the test is setup with the wheel jacked up and the bar/weight attached. It needs to fall in something like 30 to 60 secs for a VCU to be considered within its limits. I think the wheel needs to turn from a 45 degrees angle to a 90 degree angle in that time. If I am not correct somebody will correct me shortly
I have done the test and the outcome was that nothing happened. Looks like the VCU has seized. I removed it and took the landy for drive. Noticed the radiator fan came on just after start and the check engine came on for a moment and went out. I have a replacement temp gauge so will replace if required.

That's grand! You could try a bench test now if you have time. See how bell do it in this quick video.

That's what I'm doing at the moment. Slowly.
