check the bulbs first. if both outer bulbs are out the glow plug light will flash even though the centre high level light still works.
not sure about the esp light unless you have knocked the dash switch by mistake and turned it off?
or as stated earlier if brake switch on pedal has totally failed it may/or may not cause esp light to come on perhaps?

just a quick thanks to Kenney and Stewy L for the help, it was the brake switch, replaced and all sorted now
