Default MY 2004 D3 electrical gremlins

I think my D3 is telling me its time to be sold, I have had her for 4 and half years now.

Latest problem.

Driving in stop and start traffic, out of the blue up will pop a series of faults on the DIS in the following order.

Headlight range control defective
Parking Brake Fault
And another I cannot remember.

ABS and ESP lights then come on in addition to the warning, and you cannot engage ACC cruise control.

The parking brake still works perfectly fine, if you turn off the engine before engaging.

I drove for three hours yesterday morning in regular traffic, and the car drove perfectly with no faults. I got stuck in traffic going to work, and within just a few minutes up pop the faults. The only thing I can think of is that in traffic the brake pedal is being used a lot more than when in motion, can a faulty brake switch cause this?
