Default 4x4 cosworth hand brake light and abs light

When pressing the brake peddle the abs and hand brake light are coming on, and a relay clicks by the glove box, the fluid level is ok and occasionly u can hear a relay clicking like mad from the same place, the brakes seem to work ok at the min though, is this signs of the pump on the way out ???
cheers

I've just had a look at a document I put together ages ago from various sources. It says :

Both amber “ABS” and red “Brake Warning” lamps come on after brakes applied.
· Most likely this is indication of a weak or faulty accumulator. It is important to fix this problem as soon as possible because the hydraulic pump motor is cycling unnecessarily which could cause premature failure of this part.
