4x4 - ABS - Brake Lights, all on?

Friends

4.8is 2006 Model.

These three lights all came on yesterday this coincided with the drivers side CV joint splitting and dumping all of its grease. The car was on a very steep hill trying to pull away in mud. It felt/feels like it is slipping drive somewhere?

When in cycle the ignition the lights go out but return again after a few minutes driving.

I keep seeing reference to the transfer case actuator gear stripping? Although this also refers to the X3

My plan is to get the CV joint replaced first. Then investigate the lights.

Has anybody any ideas here. Is it worth replacing the gear anyway. They do an updated gear on eBay for the X5 and it does refer to a fault with very similar symptoms to my own.

I plugged in my Scanner but it throws up so many errors it’s not much use right now. I have been told I need to change the drive shaft / CV joint first.

Thank you.
