I have the normal error on my 91 RR 3.9 where it has BRAKE and ABS red lights on until you go about 10mph and they go away.
The noisy little pump sound form bulkhead when I start up is the norm and used to it...
Started it up yesterday but was not listening as was dodging around the engine bay with stuff. Put Bonnet down went out off the drive backwards as normal (ABS and Brake Light on as normal) drove off down the hill.
1/2 way down spotted lights still on !!! Thought OK I will pull over.... and thats where the trouble began as it slowed down like the Bismark in the Bath.... drove round the block and carefully dropped it back on the drive and cursed for 5mins or so !
Now tried it with the key turn but no noisy bulkhead motor whizzing/whirring noise. Told to pump the brake with key out so as to empty the system.
Did that and pump fired up on next start and stayed on made some higher pitched and lower pitched noises and stopped after about 1min.
Tried it again next day and it was on for 5 mins before stopping.
Appears to be the ABS pump with little braided cable on top and a stamp panel of NTC 6889 I think.
No sure where to start other than whipping the whole ABS pump off and finding a NEW one at god knows what cost.
Up to then I was loving the RR since getting it back in August first time its let me down
