Wow, that's a good collection of lights! With that kind of collection I'd be thinking an electrical fault could be causing your problems. What's the condition of the battery? Is the charging system working?

 

A scan might help illuminate :blush: the problem.

With the recent rain, you may find you've a soaked engine bay loom.. Some people used to find they would split their casings, and fill with water at the lowest part, causing the christmas tree effect in wet weather.. 

You'll have to search on here, I've not been keeping up to date but I know it was, well, not common.. but a few people had the problem.

As said above though, a weak battery can also casue all kinds of issues... get the meter on it, you want near 12 when off, and 14 when idling.

Cheers guys I've just been back out in it and there's just one light on now the funny shaped one EPC light, speedo has started to work as well

Still worth checking your battery health.. do you know when it was last renewed? They're only good for 4 years unless you're lucky.. tThat's not like a supermarket best before either, they really do start getting weak and causing issues like this going into the colder months.
