I have just replaced my nearside ABS sensor with a Daewoo Lanos /Nexia sensor A39-10456266 less than £6.00 on e-bay ,requires wire's altering and mods to the fixing bracket but well worth doing .

ABS alternative sensor. first assemble you're parts 1, Daewoo Lanos (1997-) Nubria (1997-05) ABS wheel sensor left or right not important as you will be cutting off the metal bracket . E-Bay item 334132988683 price £5.43.download/file.php?mode=view&id=881
2, 12v 2Pin cable wire connector plug E-Bay item 363742845394 £5.99 for 5.
Take the sensor and carefully cut off the metal bracket taking care not to cut the plastic sensor.
take the male part of the cable connector and remove the red clip at the front of the plug exposing the contacts, then push the wires from the back and remove the contacts with the wires attached out of the plug. throw away the plug , attach the wires and contacts to the sensor . Bond the connectors and wires to the sensor with JB weld - set aside to cure (overnight).

this can be disregarded if you can get you're hands on a daewoo abs sensor plug ( good luck with that one). Take another plug wire connector and solder the wires to the ones from the sensor now you have a sensor connected to a plug .

Remove you're original sensor be careful not to shear off the retaining bolt , cut the wire to the original sensor close to the sensor ,the sensor will be destroyed during removal from the original sensor you will need to retain the metal bracket as this will attach the new sensor . cut the old bracket across the large hole replicating the bracket you cut off the daewoo sensor. put a 1.5mm washer onto the daewoo sensor and fit into original location useing the original cut down bracket you may have to clean the sensor location hole with a file or sandpaper . fit the socket end of the connector to the original wiring solder and heat shrink and you are done.
