The brakes release when you open the bleeder. It is holding pressure after the ABS. No abnormal noises, and come to think about it, the "Test" thunk has been missing for a while. Are the relays under the plastic cover on the ABS unit or seperate from the unit on the firewall?
The fuel isn't that old, I have kept driving it occasionally, just not very much. eg 1000km a year. Fuel is fine. Pressure? Doesn't seem to exhibit "low pressure" actions, but I'll check it out.
Transmission fluid is the correct level. Low fluid would cause a lack of drive. When I went for a drive, it changed gears lovely. An hour or 2 later, the gear was stuck in 2nd only. Would do reverse OK, but in forward, only 2nd. Something is putting it in a Limp Home mode and making the Transmission pump to overwork... The whirring is not loud, but has the sound you get when you pull the Kickdown Cable on the transmissions that have them. More testing...
Pretty sure it's electrical
Thanks for the suggestions
