Hi
That sounds to me like your ECU has gone. Do a search on the guides on this forum as there is quite a lot of info on what is quite a common problem. I had it with my car.
You can use a S/H one off a similar car as I did or you can get yours repaired by a remanufacturing company by return post. One such company is BBA Reman.
The change is actually a fiddly tricky job that tests your patience and dexterity. It helps to have a good selection of tools. The item is located in the R/H side of the engine bay looking from the front of the car under the power steering reservoir.
Hope that helps.

Hi, just had this exact fault with my MV6, as Varche said sounds as though ABS ecu has gone, had mine repaired by BBA reman last week (£140, inc postage), a local garage removed it and refitted it after repair for £92 Inc (2hrs labour) everything is all ok now......good times ;D
Good luck!!! :y
