The ABS sensor has been cleaned and I have been asked to see if the fault occurs again. If it does then the next step is apparently to replace the drive shafts.
I'M with you on this....I can't see ANY way in which the ABS sensor can assist the car in knowing what the tyre pressure is ... at all.
The only up side to that statement is that its only slightly less daft sounding than the fault lies in the driveshaft.

Lets know how its resolved.
