new pump around RM3k+++ just diy very easy..abs pump failure will occur around 5 -6yrs therfore not premature for a 1998 car is false..alternatively source for second hand around RM600- RM800+++. Always try before you buy..just unplug the wiring harness from faulty pump to new pump..and turn ignition key to see whether the light still lits..
 
For e36..it could be the ABS sensor, ABS relay (in the engine compartment), ABS pump or ABS control unit. Have the car diagnosed first...if it shows ABS control unit, then check the fuse, relay and then the control unit.
