Hi KFK Did that however went to turn over the engine and it was very slow following diplayed on screen before the battery when completely flat..... ESP/ASR not functioning, ABS fault, Airbag Fault and Passenger Airbag deactivated! nb as its dark headlights came on and went dim when key turned. Could it just be that my battery has given up rather than the alternator? Thanks for the responce, will see if the battery will take a charge in the morning.
