personally i would just remove the fuse and remove the bulb from behind the dash the brakes work so much better without the ABS you'll wonder why you didnt do it before

check the rear wheel pick up rings inside the drum are clean. I have seen a lot of cars that have had similar problems that have been to other garages that cant solve ABS issues, its usually down to faulty connections in the sensor plug, dirty sensors or pickups.

My siters Tigra had a similar problem and was told it was a problem with the loom.
You cant just take the fuse and bulb out as your MOT tester wants to see it light up and go out again when you turn the ignition on.
Abit of wire sorts that if you have air bags
