TC+HDC+DRL+Brake lights+Reverse lights+Wipers :O

Hello Lads!
I am just going to throw this all out & see what you think.
I have read the posts on the HDC & TC lights leading mainly to the brake switch (which I will be testing/replacing soon) but here is a list of all the things that don't work when the two lights come on.
*TC
*HDC
*Front Wipers
*Daytime Running Lights (Headlights) the ones that come on wen you shift out of park.
*Brake lights
*Reverse Lights
I will start with the brake switch & go from there , maybe the CCU is going bad?
Thanks guys
Any hints or tips to get the Mrs happy again would be greatly appreciated
*using the rear fogs as manual "brake lights"*
-foot on the brake , finger on the foglight button-
2005 2.5 V6 Freelander

Loose or corroded earth?

Loose or corroded connection in under bonnet (hood) fuse box?

Got to be a wiring fault due to the breadth of the issue across different systems

in GB we do not have running lights on the freelander 1 as original equipment
