My warning light used to come on after about 10 miles, every journey. I Replaced one of the front abs sensors and that cured it.

pull the abs lead off under the bonnet and test them with a multimeter, look up which pairs of pins are which sensors on internet and test between them, one will have a total different reading to the other 3 and that is your fault, is the speedo still working

Cheers shadrack .. I'll try that, the speedo is working.. Also think that now the warning lights are on the judder seems to have stopped.  Maybe wishful thinking but it didn't happen yesterday
