Crazy temp and rpm gauges and error lights on

Yesterday my 2005 MCSC lighted the 'flat tire', DSC, overheat and 'check engine soon' then the RPM's drop fron 800 to 0 but the engine was idle 'fine' the oiltemp was crazy between 0 and mid and the gauge for water temp was at max, but I opened the bonet and the temp was normal. Later the gauges started working fine but the lights for FT,DSC and CES are still on. I'll take my mini to servicing tomorow. But I'll like to know if someboy else have had those problems.

I had some crazy problems on the center gauges, turned out of the tach/multi-purpose gauge above the steering wheel had a short. MINI replaced it under warranty
