This needs replacing on my 1997 Honda Civic Estate (1.8v). Been quoted £300 plus VAT to get this done at the dealership. Can source the part for £35. Just need to know what is involved in replacing it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

GuestHometune14-05-09 17:09Honda ABS sensors are very, very expensive. Usually around £170+vat. The dealer will be charging you around an hour's labour at £100/hr. Grand total £300.
The only real problem will be if the bolt retaining the sensor to the hub is seized in, which is very common. Then it's down to your mechanical skills to remove it :)
