ok,new battery put on-no idiot lights or anything-every thing is re-connected properly (i think) so is it any thing to do with the immobiliser/alarm?

can only do it today so-HELP PLEASE!!

ok,i guess i could of worded it a tad clearer, new battery was on but i had no idiot lights and was even dead'er (?) than with the flat battery, but ive got it sussed know,so thanks for your help.

is there a 'numpty of the day' section,as id like to nominate myself!! :embarassed:

thats the beauty of this forum,you learn from other people's numptyness/mis-fortune/bad experiance/lucky breaks etc-which is why i splattered my daftness all over this post,as a mate and a neighbour had never seen covers on the terminals before either!
