hi there
you'll want to get an obd scan done soon before any damage is done. 
sounds electrical, but with this car....well! i take it you have all fusebox covers in place? and the battery cover?

thanks for the reply and yes i must get it checked out with an obd test.
Since last evening though the both lights have returned to normal its been a little drier and as in the past i think the sensor dries out and starts working again, really need to take them apart and give them a good clean
many thanks
anthony

Welshie,
The overdrive light is documented on http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/odlight.htm in the OBD section. It indicates that the PCM has detected a fault condition - there's a list of the possible causes on that page. Get an OBD reading and this should point us in the right direction. It might be a poor circuit as well as an actual gearbox fault, and so might the flashing ABS light, which is written up on http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/abssystem.htm in the Brakes section.
