   You need to find out which ABS sensor(s) are faulty, then get them replaced. A diagnostic check should be able to tell you.
   
   The handbrake light will start working as normal when the above is sorted.

   If the lights are you'll fail. Sounds like an ABS sensor has gone.

   Eurocarparts or any local motor factors should be able to get them.

    You driven it far? Sometimes takes a few miles for the fault to clear.

    Shouldn't think it'll make any difference mate... as long as it's a sensor for the rear. Driving it a few miles should do the trick I rekon.

    Not sure if ABS faults can be read/ cleared by OBD2. Might be worth speaking with a garage.
