HELP!!!!!
hI i am the proud owner of a C5 VTR 1798 CC petrol on a 06 plate with 60,000 miles on the clock.
It as all ways started on the very first touch of the key up until last week when i got in it and it took several try s before she fired up once started she ran as all ways smooth & quite.
The next day when i went to start her as i turned the key i got the pinging sound and on the screen got the message the engine temp was to high which i knew it could not be as it had stood all night this was followed with another ping telling me the antipollotion system was not working 2 seconds later yet another ping telling me that the ESP is not working that was then followed yet again with ping and non of the rear passenger seat belt fastened warning i was the only person in the car at the time.
so in a matter of 30 seconds i had 4 warning messages which was strange as in the previous 7 years i have owned the car not one,was just about ready to run away from it in case it was to blow up then noted the motor was running just fine quite and smooth so went about my usual daily commute with no problems.
A week later after havering new battery fitted with new terminals and giving her a full service i still getting all the aforementioned warning messages not all ways in the same order but they are getting more frequent and twice she as cut out all together but starts right back up on the first turn of the key.

PLEASE ANY IDEAS.........
Regards Nick........... 
P.S. I have try d look at past posts for similar items but they all seem to refer to turbo diesel motors am i the only petrol head ? http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif)

It's not unusual to get a series of messages when a fault develops. Have you had a code reader on it to see what codes are displayed/

thanks for the reply moderator have now got some one to try and read the code on monday

I would ignore the seat belt message, my car does that and I think it is just a reminder.

 

Is the temperature gauge behaving normally or is it going high very quickly ? If so it could be the sensor on the cylinder head that has failed and this may then result in the other messages. If you have a code reader, as John has said, check for any fault codes, impending codes and if it has live data check the coolant temperature to see if it is indicating a higher value than it should be - if the engine has not been used for some time it ought to be the outside temperature, perhaps 20°C.
