This is a strange problem that two separate garages can’t get their head around. So the problem started when I had front discs and pads changed. Then the ABS light came on it says I need the left rear wheel sensor

Can we start with you providing the codes that you are getting that are pointing you in this direction?

Here are some guides that will help with this but basically we need to test the sensor to find out if it is the issue or if it is something else.
