hi boon..
so you have the 3 amigos lit......i had this fault on my 05 td4 ..3 weeks ago.. auto spark first change the switch under brake pedal... (cheapest part to change) the lights went out....:doh: but a week later they came back on...auto spark plug his lap top in and told me the rear o/s abs had gone....had a new sensor fitted ....lights are out but how long who know?..
i think your best way around this fault is to get the faults codes read ....cost 35 quid to plug in ...i was unlucky that i had 2 faults i think...
BE CAREFUL DRIVING WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE ON AS THE ABS/TC WILL NOT WORK....hope this helps

Before you do that, have you done a search on this topic? You will see that a common cause is the switch on the gearknob. Really simple repair.

I have trouble with the wires coming loose on hill decent switch on the gear stick, worth checking.
