I got a call from the wife this afternoon saying thedashboard had lit up like a Christmas tree.
All the warning lights are on, ABS, airbag , 4x4 , yellow tyre pressure indicator, yellow exclamation mark.
I got home from work, turned the ignition on and all was well. After a short drive of 500 yards they all came back on.

Our old Mini had the thermostat housing changed that came with a new temp sensor.
After fitting and starting the car the fan would come on straight away.
Swapped for another sensor and it was fine.
Maybe somewhere to start looking.

Thanks, the fan and all the warning lights happened at the same time, so I'm suspecting the ABS/ DSC hydro pump is causing the problem.
I've just read an interesting piece about the DSC system fitted to the E83 , as well as  some other BMW's
It's mind boggling what's involved.
I've put up a link for anyone who is struggling to get to sleep later who might find it a help

Got my X3 back today, all the lights on the dashboard are back to normal.
Turned out to be the same problem as another member had a few months ago.
The reluctor ring on the NSR had been swelled up by a rusted driveshaft and wrecked the ABS sensor.
It has also had a new SAS/ slip ring as this was showing several faults.
The cooling fan running at full speed all the time was sorted as soon as the ABS sensor/ reluctor ring was changed and faults cleared.
The garage had a mare of a job removing the drive shaft as it was seized into the hub as previously experienced by the other member who had the exact same problem . ( Sorry Bubbaspaarx , couldn't remember your name )
