Any advice or suggestions grealty appreciated, getting bored of this now.

DSC light came on, diagnosed as ABS ECU (by BMW) - went off to BBA Reman, came back fixed - lovely. That was 6 months ago. About 4 weeks ago, all 3 lights on - common E39 problem, picked up a cheapo ABS sensor and tried on both sides ont he front - as I know the reas where OK (speedo and cruise working) Lights remain (both original BMW sensors back on the car now)

Took it to my local garage, he hooked it up and errors reported were "brake light switch", and "Brake pressure sensor" - he unplugged the pressure sensor and error cleared, so off I went and bought one of these - fitted. On way to to work this morning - all lights on again - grrrrrrrrrmad

I have contacted BBA to see what they say, as the ECU is warrantied for 2 years. I know I need to get it hooked up again to the OBD reader - but given the mis-reported error last time I am loosing faith!

Going to book it in, as it needs the rocker gasket doing but any suggestions would be appreciated!
