Weird Snag 2009 DB9 Volante - Red Brake warning light on, Orange ABS Warning light on.
Speedo, Rev counter, Indicators, Fuel contents, Temp gauge not working. Then will clear for a minute or so then come back on with Warnings of Brake Failure
I've put Foxwell scanner on it and no fault codes are showing up on it.

Any one else had symptoms like this and how was it rectified, thanks

Sounds like the roof module could be starting to fail.
When you get the fault again try converting the roof.

Did try to open the roof at one time and that didn't work either

If you disconnect the roof module you will find everything should go back to normal, if it does then it is definitely a roof module failure.

Just went and started the car, no indications / warnings showing all seemed ok, went to move the roof switch and it wouldn't move!

How do I disconnect the roof module please?

The roof module is item 13 and B, looks like you can access it via rear wheel arch or possibly inside the tonneau area, if you cant open the roof you will have to access via wheel arch once wheel arch liner is removed.
Might be worth removing the fuse for the roof module first.

Almost certainly the roof module. I had exactly the same on my DB9. Easy swap but it does need to be recoded to the car. Part is about £550 I seem to remember.

Does make me wonder what the point of the warning lights are for if they have nothing to do with the actual problem ?

Thanks for all the help, I removed the fuse, still the same, I then disconnected the Roof Module, and so far, fingers crossed it's working
