Today I spent two hours removing a front nearside abs sensor (2001 TD4) and on giving the wheel a sping to check the reluctor ring, yes, you've guessed, broken and spinning freely. Question is can the ring be bought as a replacement item or is it yet another second hand shaft to go on?
 
Thanks for the replies. Yes it should be possible to reweld it but it can be hit or miss, clamp it up and a small touch of weld, file it back and that should be it in theory.

The link to the rings company looks like its second hand ones - judging by their surcharge - which have been welded and cleaned up and quite honestly at £42 each plus postage it seems a bit steep. The last time I bought a second hand shaft it cost me £40 plus vat. Lasted two years and this is the one that's gone again.

Think I'll try the weld trick first.
 
I wont spam the guy I got my drive shafts from,but I bought a pair of new shafts for £50 each and about a tenner postage,from a guy on ebay.A nice bit of engineering for small money.
