Dash board like a christmas tree
Hello People need some advice on my D3. 06 plate. Auto. I will try and give all the information so bare with me... A few of days ago it went into limp home mode while accelerating. I stop turned it off and on problem gone. Nothing was shown on fault screen. So carried on have driven about 200 miles since then no issues. During that 200 miles one of my brand new general grabbers popped! luckily in a carpark, this was on saturday morning managed to get a same size tyre(not a general though) That tyre is on its way back to general to be looked at before replacing.
After the new tyre was fitted the air bag warning light came on, as I reversed out of the tyre garage.
I have always had trouble with the cruise control buttons so thought "Clock spring!" will order one and change it at the weekend. Then tonight I go to the car and the dashboard looks like the picture! If I can work out how to add a photo!
Warning messages are:
"HDC Fault System not available"
"Park Brake fault"
"System fault special programmes not available"
"Suspension lowered!"
All of these show the book symbol so I have looked them up and as usual the manual is little help.
I have done a hard reset tonight left it about half an hour with pos and neg connected.The picture was taken after I connected it up again!
Any help or clues would be greatfully recieved. I look forward to the usual banter! Cheers in advance

Battery/alternator, brake light or brake switch always come to mind. If the seat was moved at the tyre place that may just be a dislodged plug. Oh and the vehicle hates differing rolling circumferences on the same axle.

Agree, battery or alternator or both.
Three other things:
1. Fill in your profile.
2. Get the fault codes read properly.
3. Don't buy a clock spring until you've checked the little loom behind the airbag regarding your cruise fault. Always check that first, it's easy to repair and very cheap. Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails

Just had similar issues
Turned out to be water in the ECUs behind the battery!
As mentioned though a fault read will give clues.
If it helps mine went into limp mode every time it threw pretty much the same Fault Lights on the dash.
I got some great help on here so I'm sure you will do to.
