Ended up in the same position a few weeks ago when changing my HU. Was playing around with it for about 45mins after fitting, and the car hadn't been driven/started for a week. Tried to start it the next morning and nothing...then all the fault lights came on, thought sh*t wtf. But hooked up the jump leads to my old mans golf and all good again :smiley:

Had the same after doing the ABS purge recently, it's a bit disconcerting when you start getting the Christmas tree of lights on the dash.... Oh f*ck!... then ahhhh, battery. :grin:

sick and tired of my led sidelights. they just keep failing after a few months. can anyone recommend some decent ones? anyway changed mine back to normal sidelight bulbs just so that i can get rid of that annoying warning light on the dash!
