Haha, sorry mate I was trying to be funny. The reluctor ring is actually completely missing! I'm not sure if you can zoome in enough but you can actually see very slightly in the rust where the reluctor ring used to sit and can see slight shading differences from where the slits would be. I've sanded the driveshaft down and a reluctor ring is being posted today by Amazon. You know, its interesting that when I purchased the car and took it back as the cruise control never worked he said he wouldn't replace as its "general wear and tear" but more to the point when I said "yeah it has a reluctor ring that can rust doesn't it, and then the sensor cant read it" which to be fair is the norm for these reluctor rings, and he said "yeah or they can snap off" and I now think isn't it ironic that he said that and the ring has snapped off :/ ahh well if it wasn't for the faults on this car I'd never have known as much as I do now.
