Hiya, i thought i d say hello first :) as im new here

I have a merc w210 E200 Kompressor and i have two following problems:

1) The ESP/BAS/ABS lights come up and computer tells me to visit the workshop. The funny thing is that when i turn off the car and turn it on again the warning lights dont come up. They seem to come back an odd time when i loose traction when ESP kicks in or just show up out of nowhere. I asked guy in the garage whats wrong with the car and he says its a sensor in the steering wheel that needs to be replaced and it would cost be about 100e in total. I know that few people had this problem as well and often the brake light switch would cure the problem. So which one is it the sensor or the switch>??<

2)Everytime I open the car from the key it unlocks the doors and pops up the boot as well although i didnt press the boot button, it also happens when say i was driving for a bit (the doors lock automaticaly) and then when i stop and open the doors the boot pops up again. Can anyone help me how to fix it>??<

Thanks

First thing that I would try is the brake lamp switch, its only £10 and easy to fit.
