200e W124 Auto Petrol
Car has run perfectly for 10 years but has been laid up for 6months.
Now the ABS light is on permanently (although it used to go out after a short drive - I have driven it once a month during the period).
Also it stalls and runs rough intermittantly and throttle response is poor. It will start after many attempts. I've checked all the usual things but is very intermittant and difficult to trace - it can run perfectly for hours. I have read about the OVP Fuse but have not found it. Any advice welcomed

ABS Light

So the story so far
ABS on permanently (was off until i hit 90mph then flashed on and has stayed on ever since)
ABS Senors have been cleaned on the front wheels (is there one for the rear ????)
Relays on top of ABS unit have been changed.
I'm sure this is still an electrical fault and the car still runs a bit rough when ticking over - especially from cold.

Any more ideas please\as it doing my head in.
