Lol mate..   thanks for all the input..    i'll be leaving work early today, straight to Euro's for a new battery.  if all the warning lights go off after the new battery then thats a bonus, if not....   i'll get her booked in for a scan and new sensors/wheel bearings..  :happy2: :grin:

Interesting - before getting replacement just check the voltage on the old battery, should be around 12.5v.

Mine would play dead with a brand new battery, sometimes completely dead, other times it would pop the doors but then not start - acted like a dead battery, it would even loose window memory - disconnecting and reconnecting the battery would usually bring it back to life.

Eventually found it was terminal 15 relay under the steering column gone bad, I have not had any issues since.

ohhh !!  that is interesting,  unfortunately i dont have any means of measuring the battery voltage  :sad1:,  so i might just pop home 1st and disconnect the battery and connect back again to see if anything happens,   i'll also check that relay  :happy2:
