It seems its detecting a problem with the esp system of some description (at least that light matches your description) . I would guess you can get some more information by using VCDS Lite with a suitable cable if your vehicle is compatible with it as to what the problem actually is. (there is info on the forum here about that > http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?/topic/22727-power-loss/page__p__174873__hl__diagnostics#entry174873 your looking for the post by chrispb123456)

when my husband brought the car the coils were underwater in the v.in the head.dryed it all out.do u reckon the coils could be the probelm ????????

I doubt it as the coils provide the spark to run the engine so if there was a fault there it most likly wouldn't start. You really need to get the diagnostics looked at as it will tell you far more information than just guessing based on the symptoms your seeing. Some errors such as airbag errors won't reset automatically they have to be manually reset and the only way to do this is with the software so i'd start there frist.

The reason the coils are filling with water is..

 

You need to adjust the bonnet so it sits further back and makes a water tight seal :)
