Perhaps this post might be better on the brakes/suspension forum but anyway...
got into the car last night (w126). Used it last on Monday for a 60 mile jaunt and whilst it's been running a bit rough (slight missing and lumpy idle), when i started her up last night the ABS light wouldn't go out on and the revs soared to 2000. Can drive it, but even in drive with my foot on the brake it's pushing 1000 revs and it's itching to go. What could this be? Before, the car had always made a short audible groan when moving off, seemed to be from the rear wheel - i was told the owner that this was the car checking the ABS. Doesn;t make this sound now. Might this be related?
I've checked out the OVP fuse and it's fine although I couldn;t get the actual relay out as it is always dark by the time I get home from work, and usually raining too!
I'm not very mechanical either!
Thanks in advance folks.
