Weird problems

The car has been doing strange stuff over the past few days, parking sensors working now and again, HDC fault and special programs off, this only happens first thing in the morning.
When I started it today the battery light flickered a couple of times after I started it, always starts first time.
Could it be the battery on it's way out or what do you think it could be.

Could just be damp issues, especially if the car is not being used much at the moment.

Easiest way to check battery is to get a discharge test and have charging current checked. A good trickle charger might recover the battery if it is not too far gone.

Change the battery. Had the same with mine.
If the battery is around the 3 years old it will need changing. Get yourself an original one!
If its not it may be the alternator.
