dbug ........ abs/tc lights always come on together on this fault

Possibly breaked abs ecu - symptoms abs and tc lights on together, speedo stops working and steering may get heavy (speed sensitive power steering).  Check/clean abs sensors first and pray that cures it as changing the abs ecu is a right barsteward >:( - been there done that.

I am new to this Omega lark, my last Vauxhall was a 1985 2.5i Senator A but now my gorgeous 2000 MV6 Estate has what seems to be this issue, the Speedo does not work and the ABS and TC lights are on, to cap it the engine management light came on yesterday! All the fluids are okay and the car drives, starts and stops fine! Any ideas?
see above ^^^^

If speedo is not working with the abs/tc lights on the defo ABS/TC ECU failure...if just the lights on then may well just be dirty sensors :y

Changing the ECU really isnt that hard if you do it a little differently  ::)
