Hi, I've fitted two new front ABS sensors on my 2003 Disco 2 face lift in the last four years, the last one I fitted only last week. In both cases the wheel bearing/hub has been fine. Same issue as you, three amigo's + hill descent light came on, Haykeye said front right hand side sensor.
Both times I've use a £9 sensor from Ebay, first one's been on four years now and no problem, this time also cured the problem. I found that both times I had to cut the plug off the sensor to thread it through (behind) the hub, as both the sensor and plug are too big to fit through, I just re-joined it afterwards. Quite an easy job, just remove the brake caliper, caliper mounting bracket and brake disc and the sensor is right there. Just be careful with the small O ring that fitted around the sensor.
As I said, both times now I've fixed my problem for less than a tenner
Not sure about the long/short lead stuff, mine has a plug that connects through the wheel arch and under/near the brake fluid reservoir.
