if that had of been me i would have called the AA or RAC there and then for breakdown recovery (and therefore an individual inspection of the fault) and then been after the MOT garage for a few ££££

The ABS pump is used to pressurise the rear brakes when bleeding them but no .... You don't bleed the brakes from the ABS pump - i.e. the garage shouldn`t have even touched the ABS pump in anyway.
CHEERS FOR THAT still sounds a bit of a coincidence to mebetter ta ask first sometimes instead of
just pondering will they need bleeding again NOW they seem ok ??
