To summarise, I had all the warning lights illuminate followed by EPB and suspension on every start up in the summer.
So.... the GT has been back at Owens for another 3 or so weeks. I told 'em what to check after discussing the issue further with my man @ Autorevive. And.... last week they came back to me saying they 'BELIEVE' they have traced the fault to poor connectors on the C Can wiring loom, and I quote "We have renewed the pins and connector and the warning lights have gone after being there all through our testing of the vehicle."
So the first thing I told them to check when it went back this time, bet it wasn't checked the first, 2nd, 3rd and 4th... poss more times lost count, was the wiring looms and there you go.... it wasn't the 6k +VAT NIT unit they insisted it was last time. They said if it does it again we can only replace the NIT unit as we have checked everything else.....
Now the funny thing is that when this first happened back in the summer and it went in the guy there said I bet it's the Can wire but they then decided it was the ECU box and removed me of £800. Straight away the lights came back on.
So this could be a issue with a lot of the marque's and warning lights so I'd certainly put poor connectors top of things to check on any warning light issues/buzzers from now on all of these vehicles.
So I'm hoping thats it and its fixed!
However small problem, they still have the car after trying to charge me another £400 to resolve the on going and unfixed fault. I've told them this was the original fault that was not fixed and that poss the ECU box, although they are insisting it was necessary, actually wasn't because the lights came back on immediately after it was replaced. SO perhaps they should actually be crediting me the £800 back. Now for some reason I've not had a reply yet, so guess I've got to next Aug it get a suitable conclusion to this.

Good luck, anyway.
