Good. Nice to know this is actually the problem :D

I've heard these go, and when they do, they make the entire car go mad :


In my case, the engine temp needle goes right down (ie. off position) and the revs hit 4k and stay there. The car won't...

Removed ABS ECU plug and refitted, after cleaning.
TRACS light has now gone out, but ABS remains, and hte car sometimes won't start on first attempt.
