hi new x5 owner with a slight problem

picked up a 2007 x5 e70 3.0d on Friday all fine drives lovely no problems

Sunday out in the car and dash lights up with 4x4 DSC failure car still drives fine !!
get home and turn ignition on and off warning lights gone drive up the road doesn't come back on.
until today all come back on a again turn car on and off all gone again drive a couple miles down the road comes back on this time with tyre pressure monitor fail as well ?????

any ideas ????

ok update

this time when is cam on it said 4x4  DSC ABS EBV failure and flat tyre monitor failure

possible abs sensor ?

when I test drove the car it had a wheel bearing noise from the n/s/f which the garage sorted possible damaged sensor maybe ?

any input greatly appreciated

Deffo wheel speed sensor I would think.

Taking it back to the garage tomorrow and they are taking it to bmw specialist so will see tomorrow.

Hope it's to do with the wheel bearing being replaced and damage to the sensor and I haven't just payed 15k for a problem riddled x5

garage phoned and said problem is a communication issues between some module or something ??

any one heard of this before or anything similar ?

the car has full bmw history at the same dealer in Salisbury would a call to them be worth fining out anything see if the last owner got shot of the car for this issue ?

Communication is always an issue..

Most of the modules in the car will talk to a lot more to get certain info for their function..

You can always ask, but you may not get.
I believe you can request service history from dealers and they can tell you the pertinent points in the cars history, as long as the dealer network did it!!

Had a x3 in a garage one day for transfer repair, did a job, did calibration etc but no communication with dsc, dde etc. Turn out to be bad abs sensor...

Update

It has been diagnosed to a module to do with the parking brake

part is ordered and will be fitted tomorrow so fingers crossed

Hopefully get it back tomorrow exactly a week from collecting originally  lol
Be like picking it up all over again

update

bit of confusion between the car sales and the bmw specialist he thought they order a new module they haven't apparently it was just full s**t so cleaned all connections up all faults cleared and comms came back , had the car all weekend no faults all working fine 

Spoke to soon light back

New module going on if this doesn't sort the car is going back or through the guys show room  >:(

The same lights on my E53 last month meant a new transfer case motor.  I know yours is an E70 but worth considering.
