After falling out of love with the car, been using it more and wanting to drive it more. Other day, thought "Ahh, bit of surface rust on brakes" ABS check happens, horrible grinding noise, guessing front N/S, brake pedal starts vibrating and can feel the grinding through the pedal. ESP error pops up, ABS light. Error code shows "Wheel Speed Sensor A". Drove okay since but got lines on the dash now. Can't get it fixed before MOT, so will fail on that. Quick mechanic chat reckons wheel bearing has gone, something about magnets and taken the sensor out.

Best to just wait and fix it or carry on? Advised be okay just careful with the braking, so in two minds if I'll make it worse.
