Glad you've found the problem and fixed it! Yes, that will cause those sort of problems but it shouldn't have passed an MoT with an insecure battery. That said, because the battery sits in a well and can't really go anywhere they tend to overlook it on the 7/9xx cars, if in fact they can actually see the clamp is missing.
The big problem there was the loose terminal/leads from it though.
