Whilst I couldn't find any bad wiring connections or connectors, from the following codes I was able to do some fault replication by disconnecting the wiring (although it was never a perfect replication of the fault exactly I could trigger most of these faults and get similar symptoms):

From my emails with Pat from Gap diagnostic he picked up fairly early from the code from the instrument cluster U0010-88 medium speed can bus fault code that there may be a fault with the cluster can bus module. Originally when I looked at all the above faults I was convinced that the damaged can bus wiring I found was going to be the issue as all those modules that lost communication with each other would have been sending signals through that section. When that repair failed to fix it I was starting to think that maybe the park brake module had failed as that is also smack bang in the middle of the can bus wiring so the modules would lose communication with each other. But one of the fellas on the UK disco 3 forum made a comment that I took a step back to think about - "the patient is sick and can't diagnose itself". That set me back on the right direction as the fault codes don't always literally spell out the issue (I've had a little experience with cummins fault codes so that helped). With the thoughts from Gap, some reading of others with a similar fault and all the modules logging faults with the instrument cluster and all the real cheap things to check out of the way I figured I'd take the stab at the instrument cluster as the issue. So far I was right (although theres aways a chance that I'll be proven wrong)
