Hi had same problem with ABS, went to a 4x4 wreckers & brought a second hand one for $220. Easy to install yourself as long as you have the same numbers on the ABS unit.
Good luck 4x4.

Hey, in regards to your ABS issue, I did some research a while ago and it appears that the '99 model (mine is '99 also) had a common ABS flaw in America, and the states actually had large recall on the early model vehicles to replace the ABS modules.
I personally had the diagnostics like you, and Holden told me they could get a module for $1400, not including labour... I was told the diagnostic was reporting a LH wheel speed sensor issue, and I should throw money at that first, but I realized they didn't have a clue, and the Americans with their 'Isuzu Rodeos" (as they call it), knew better...
The module is cheaper in the States, and even cheaper in Canada - I would try and find a secondhand module from a later Frontera model, but couldn't find anyone with enough know-how to tell me if this would work...
As it stands, my ABS is disconnected, and I don't use it... I put up with the light on...
If you get a solution, please post your results on a Holden review forum or Frontera/Jackaroo club page for us all.. ;)

How did you go with the ABS module?
