215.

Which seems to mean "relay", so I wonder if that explains the clicking. Which I know most likely doesn't explain the cutting out, but I'm wondering if it's the relay itself, or maybe a shared earth with other enginey bits. So will chase the earth points, as I think has been suggested on the thread, next time I'm in the mood to remember this car exists.

That will be the relay inside the ABS modulator block. Remove the top (one screw in the middle) and pull the relay out and clean the contacts. Also find the earth for thepump motor (it's a thick wire, you can't miss is) and clean the earth on the body and where it connects to the modulator block.

When reading fault codes, you need to retrieve all the codes that section is giving or you only get half the picture of what's happening.
