To answer my own question, and somewhat controversially oppose M.B.DOC :

Due to an ASD fault I have realised two pins on the OVP are not being connected when the OVP powers up, though they should be.

I took my OVP out, and there was no change to the engine's running ?!?! The ABS light did come on now that it was removed though, which means it was doing something.

So I took the step of bridging the 2 pins that should be connecting myself (87E and 87L).


Lo and behold, engine running becomes more normal, laggy throttle response *seems* to be gone, and ASD problem fixed.

So, on first impressions, I would suggest a portion of my OVP has failed, without taking out the ABS.

But it should be noted that this is a twin-fuse OVP, on an ASD equipped W201, which is not available in America!
