Multiple fault readings: transmission fault, engine system..

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. Had multiple faults and the car went into limp mode on my way home from work on Friday evening. Fault list included:
Transmission fault
Engine system fault
Transmission fault restricted gears
HDC system fault
Park brake fault.

Pulled into a layby, turned the ignition off and restarted. Faults cleared but I only got half a mile before the cycle started again.

After reading some advice, thought it was likely to be the brake switch so replaced this on Saturday. Thought I had cracked it because the car ran fine all weekend and took me to work this morning okay. Also, when I broke the old switch apart, there seemed to be evidence of arcing and black deposits in the switch.

Disaster tonight though as the fault has come back with exactly the same symptoms as before. When the fault is not there, the car is running beautifully.

Has anybody got any suggestions please?

Only changed the battery about three months ago when the cold weather pushed it over the edge and it let me down. Is a pretty high spec battery and has been fine up until now......still think it's worth getting it drop checked?

I don't have a code reader so do you think I need to get them read before I do anything else?

Getting codes read early seems to be the common advice on this forum before you start sending good money after bad chasing faults that aren't there. Haven't got one myself but if you are handy with spanners etc and have the basic facilities, then the wisdom here seems to be to buy a good quality reader. If not a trip to your local Indie? Robin

I would suspect the battery ???
These vehicles are a tad fussy when it comes to batteries.

What year is you car? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Update -

Got a code reader and identified the culprit a P229 injector control pressure too low.

Does anyone have experience with this fault code? Guess im going to be changing the fuel filter first, then the low pressure pump if that doesnt work......and praying its not the high pressure pump!

Any other ideas of things that could cause this fault greatly received....
