ABS and TRACS lights come on together if there's a fault in the ABS. It's likely to be a dry joint in the ABS ECU, which is free and reasonably easy to sort out.

This; I have that very issue on my 850TDi though I am informed it is an ABS ring as the cruise control is also inop on mine.

Thanks, I wondered if that was the case.  Hopefully the new owner is handy with a soldering iron then (or knows somone who is).

You can see quite clearly that the solder joints at the top left here have fractured but it's as well to reflow all the big joints.

It's quite hard to get apart, I found it easiest to break off the flange over the join, then cut through very carefully with a Stanley knife. I used black Tigerseal to put it back together and you would hardly know it had been apart.
