Hi guys just got a 1990 G reg rangie classic 3.9 efi v8 with abs.
When i get in the brake and abs warning lights are on, but they go out when driving.
The abs pump makes an intermittent whirring noise(the sort you get with a bad electrical connection) for a min or so when you get in then does it on and off for an minute or so every time you touch the brakes when moving.
I've had a look, and when its whiring the braided hose that comes out the abs unit to the abs block is vibrating quite a lot.
There also looks to be fluid weeping out of the hose end at the abs block end.
Does anyone know where I can get this braided hose (i've searched but to no avail) as I think this is probably the problem, yet I drove it 40 miles back like it and the fluid level barely moved, possibly a very minor leak???
For the mean time could I unplug the abs pump just to use it (but with no abs), as the whirring noise sounds like the pump might burn out or something, which could be expensive, or will I loose brakes all togeather,
thanks!!
