ABS Reluctor Rings... Either broken or missing a tooth or two on one or more wheel

Fairly easy fix, not too expensive if you do it yourself.

You may also be low on fluid which could either there is a leak or the pads are getting low.

Aye, mine were doing it just prior to replacing the pads. Not had a problem since.

Did you just tap the new rings on? As I have heard people say you need to heat them up first as they shrink around the cv joint. Even had a garage tell me I wouldn't be able to do it without heating them.

no took them to a friends garage he heated them up and pressed them on somehow while i went for a pint only took him an hour
