The fault was with the steering angle sensor, the one in the steering wheel.
Thank you for the feedback.
What upset the angle sensor? Did you have any tracking done recently?

The sensor just stopped working.
Both bas/esp and the abs lights came on whilst driving. Went out once but came on once I had moved off, then have stayed on. No tracking, suspension work nor clipped a wheel, kerb or pothole.
My tip for this job is to replace the 10mm bolt that holds the steering wheel on, every time you remove it. Having been previously removed prior to my ownership, it began to round off as was a bit damaged.
I think it is torqued to 3000 lbs plus seven turns.
