Does it look like a factory fit? Any ideas as to where the wires coming from it go?

thinking about it, it doesnt fit very well and wobbles about abit, it is quite large tho and there are a lot o wires in the loom that go into it.perhaps its an old alarm system or something altho it would seem a bit big,i will try and trace the look see where it goes but theres not much room as you all know.

the ABS ECU is the big box with all the pipes going into it next to the battery and it says BOSCH ABS on top of it isnt it?

 Yes, that is the Hydraulic part of the ABS, the module is the black box behind that
