Help needed please

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well, now I have a major issue and a load of problems all come together.
I recently had the handbrake module pack up, so put in new EPB shoes, disc and pads and replaced the module. Had trouble calibrating so took it to a local landy specialist who tried and said the unit was not visible on the diagnostic machine. So returned it for a refund and ordered a new one. This came and my icarsoft reader saw it and it loaded the vin number.
Then I went for a drive before setting up and the prop snapped in the middle cv joint. Got it home as was quite so managed to remove broken prop and limp home.
Fitted a new prop but when I went to drive it, it wouldn’t start or turn over. I got the door locks clicking, temp showing off the scale, loads of errors, transmission limited gears, suspension lowered, hazards flashing and no comms with reader.
Even when manually putting vehicle information into reader it just gives a link error.
I have checked all the wiring at the back from the EPB module and the links near the NSR shock, nothing broken.
Put a multimeter on pins 6 and 14 in the OBD socket and got 62.5 ohms, then tried pins 3 and 11 and got nothing.
Running out of ideas now and quite upset with it as a week ago it was fine.
Would really appreciate some pointers if anyone can help?
I also checked under the trim near the boot release and disconnecting the green socket stops the hazards.
Thanks all pete

Charge the battery or it’s time to replace it

Done that and it’s only a year old, still under warranty but voltage good been standing 3 days and still 12.8v, may try linking up a jump but still suspect can bus as had a few fake faults in the past too

Helps if you give model / year.

Of course, it’s a 2006 2.7 TDV6 GS. 150k on it

The false faults previously related to suspension that works perfectly when the car runs. Even when the fault came up everything worked fine. Very strange a as great car until now

Well for anyone interested I fixed it. First did the easy bit, the new propshaft then started looking at the electrics coming from the EPB module. Went all over the loom and checked continuity, all was good. Then plugged in the old EPB module, oddly all the warnings went off and I could start the car. I could also see the module on my diagnostic machine with no link error.
So I opened the new module up and replaced the PCB with the one from the old unit. Only did PCB as I know the force sensor had failed in the old one.
Put it all back together, calibrated the EPB module and BINGO. All faults gone and handbrake working perfectly.
So about £600 in parts and probably saved about 2K in labour.
Shame we can’t put videos on here as would have been nice to post an image of the dash errors before fixing.

You can put videos up.
Apparently the way to do it is to make a yout tube then link to it, so I have been told as I have never needed to do it!!

Well done you, that's more electric fiddling than I could have done.
I bet there are plenty of owners who are spending £££'s at garages, who are just fitting new pieces, trying to get the lights to go out.
