Belts too slack, or the sensors aren't mounted properly.

maybe a co-incident it's flashing since the clutch was done but maybe a case that the master cylinder is low and needs topping up!

Not the ABS light

I could be wrong but im fairly sure only the handbrake light will flash, or both! Just the ABS light flashing indicates its being triggered by the belt break switches to me
