Narrative:
With first officer flying around 17;000 ft while descending into [the airport] we received an IAS comparator. This was followed soon after by the autopilot; auto throttles disconnecting and flight directors disappearing. Shortly after we received level 2 sel flap lim ovrd; and sel elev feel manual. We [advised ATC] and informed approach control that we were experiencing instrument indication problems. Using the non-alert airspeed unreliable checklist we continued the descent and navigated using the heading bug until the [ILS] tuned. Shortly after captain took control of the aircraft. Landing flaps of 35 was selected; but on approach noticed that they had only positioned to 27-28. Flap override was selected to mute a possible to low flaps warning. Uneventful landing followed with normal auto brake engagement. Taxi into parking was normal.
