Bought '98 V70, have questions, ABS, redio, etc V70-XC70

Hi,

Recently I acquired a somewhat abused 1998 V70 with 163k. After I cleaned out about 10 lbs of doghair and wrappers it does not look so bad, except for horribly worn leather surfaces.
I changed the oil and filter, and plan on changing all fluids aswell as the timing belt.
There are a host of problems, but here the more immediate ones:

About 60% of the time the ABS light comes on, and ABS does not work. Sometimes I just shut the car off, restart, and the ABS light is off and ABS works. Does the ABS have a diagnostic mode like on the 940s? What should I check?

What else do I need when changing the timing belt? A tensioner bearing and an idler bearing?

The radio needs a code. I got the code form the dealer, but it did not work for this radio (must have been replaced). Like an idiot I put the code in 3 times, and now the radio is locked. The owner's manual says to leave the key on position I for 2 hours to reset it, so I can put codes in. I tried that, but the radio did not reset. Does the ignition need to be on for 2 hours?

I assume the car originally had keyless entry. How do I go about acquiring the proper device and program it to the car?
Thanks,

Csaba
