Sounds like an earth fault. Have you checked battery connections

 

[OGB]

yeah either Earth at fault or shorting somewhere... encountered a similar problem on a deere, a cheese eating friend had caused it! (no not you Nige!!)?

Ours did that once, was the alternator

Alternator belt gone will set others off aswell

As said Alternator failure or belt broken sends all the warning lights and alarms off.
Very common on that model and ones like it cause the belt also drives a hyd pump to circulate the oil through the oil cooler so far too much work for a 13mm AVX single V belt to drive a 95amp alternator and a hyd pump!

Its expensive but i recommend the genuine belt now cause they have changed to a better belt construction and they do last better other wise i use a vapormatic VLD4265, which is an AVX13 x 1300 LA make sure its LA and not LI or LP

LA is external length
LI is internal Length
LP is pitch length (middle of V)


I did try a Kevlar belt once but that only lasted a few weeks

also check out the maga fuses too the left of the battery. one there for the alternator could be blown or more likely they burn the connections out underneath, they are cheap as, cost you £20 to £25 for a new fuse box, connectors and both multi plugs, i keep them in stock

No possibility not it may have been past it for a while

On the one we had the belt vibrated and made contact with that bracket. A tweak with the adjustable where the paint was worn off stopped it. First time all hell broke loose like in your case.

later perkins ones had a idler pulley there for that reason, didn't do much to help belt though, far too much load on it for the type belt it is.
