Default Audi 80 ABS fault

Hi, everyone I am a new member in trouble! My Audi 80 started pulling to the left when braking.After some investigation I found that the ABS was not pushing any brake fluid to the o/s front wheel. It would seem as if the valve for that wheel is jammed closed . Would anyone know of any firm in the south west who would be able to sort out my problem? Many thanks in anticipation.

not ABS problem but a sticking caliper is more like the problem

Dave
I have proved the caliper is ok as I have had it disconnected from the car and when the brake pedal is pressed no fluid comes out from the hose.

As a matter of interest I have cleared the fault on the ABS by sharply tapping the cover of the solenoid cover with a copper hammer. Prior to doing this I slackened off the brake pipe to the n/s front and pressedthe brake pedal. Fluid was seen to ooze out from this joint so I re-tightened the union. It occurred to me that the valve feeding the o/s front wheel may have jammed. After the taps I bled both front brakes and the car now pulls up in a straight line no problem!
