Check the fuseable link Kriss, it's probably cracked and causing intermittant power interuptions.
anything I should look at in particular??. I don't think it's a fuse because everything still works. I drive the car sometimes, and the radio, OBC and sunroof switch all switch off for about 30 seconds and start working again.
I will have a look today though

my obc kept resetting when my battery was dying
That does not mean 100% it is o.k., better test it under load. Testing a battery with a multimeter is not that good. Must be tested under load.
For example, if you do not have a load tester: switch on interior light and headlights, then start engine, if the interior light goes down a little bit, battery is still o.k, but if interior light goes off completely, battery is dead, maybe a cell. Not very high tech test, but helps in the middle of nowhere.
E34 and E32 do not have batteries like the older E28.
But they have the capacitors inside the cluster, total 5 of them, which also get weak over the years. Reset of cluster and behaviour like haunted of the cluster with old caps is 'normal'. Especially in winter time when it is colder.
And Kris has winter now in OZ-land
