Update on this.

Also have a code elsewhere.

Cable Break to MASK or Navi.. and

Communication IBUS transmit fault.

So with the above I'd take a punt on this being an earthing fault or something.

Are there are known issues with the battery terminals on these or the cabling? I know bmw do with slightly later cars but I can't find much on these.

Check the connector on the cluster? Comes out easily.
Aslso check the ground points no harm in it. I had weird problems with my TB due to a grounding issue! One under the bonnet and one I. The boot to the right of the battery tray under the carpet.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!
