Petrol version '65 C3 Picasso with no problems so far, then the other day all three of those warnings came on at the same time. I thought this was very strange. Could it be something simple like a fuse or a bad connector?

How old is your battery? If it's "about" 4 years old, think about replacing it. In the very least I would get it load tested.
Battery is super critical in the operation of modern car electronics! It doesn't just start the engine anymore.

ABS and ESP can be linked by the wheel rotation sensor. I would imagine the tyre pressure could be too on the Picasso.
