Help needed. Warnings and ignition issue

Hello

I am new to the forum so hopefully this is the right place. Have a Saab 9-3 estate 2005. Have an issue that I’m not sure if it’s connected.

car started having an error of stability control with abs and brake warning lights coming up. This also disabled the Speedo. These tend to be temporary and come and go sporadically.

In amongst this when these warnings are on the car will not start so may take 20 mins of turning on and off until it starts.
Now an ABS malfunction warning and bing bong is coming on throughout the drive on and off.

I cannot find any Saab specialists. Can anyone help me look in the right direction with this? OBD brings up air leak but that’s it.
Thanks in advance.

I’ve been trawling the forum and from what I can tell, it’s likely the ABS control module overheating/failing. Will see if I can find someone to help me replace and hopefully that fixes the issue. Or not and then can move onto the next thing to replace, CIM maybe?
Although I am not alien to doing bits on cars this appears complicated. Fingers crossed I can get till Monday.
