Check and clean all connections, sounds like earthing/poor connections imo

Clean up contacts with some wire wool or sandpaper etc, then give it a good blast with some switch contact cleaner. Also if there are any earth straps in the boot, check that have good clean connections with the body.

the earth from the battery to the frame of the car (the short little lead) is quite corroded and the cable seems to be a bit weak.

re-do that, but for the rear clusters, 9 times out of 10 its a bad/high resistance connection. As i said just give them all a slight clean up with sandpaper and refit

Check the bulbs, especially the stop/tail bulbs seen loads that have shorted out inside the bulb.
