Best place to start is diagnostics. If you can get it on Lexia or Diagbox, that should begin to give some indication with stored faults.

Re: c5 just cut out and wont start again
Given what you have said already, "..pressed all the wiring I could see.." would suggest that you may have a loose connection / plug or some dirt in one of the connectors if not a loose or broken wire wherever it was that you were poking about!
A systematic check and clean up of all your connectors with some electrical contact cleaner may be worth a shot in the first instance - put it this way - it won't make things worse than they are. Then get it on a Lexia for a global test, clear the faults, and re-test. Any faults that remain can be accepted as 'new' temporary or permanent faults and will form the basis of where to start.
