| All dashboard lights flashing on and off at startup......... |
|
.......plus a "fast clicking" sound when you try to start her. Engine doesn't even try to turn over,
D3 worked fine earlier, left parked up in town for 3 hours (lights may have been left on, missus not sure) so this may be battery related?. when you go through the usual startup routine you get Parkbrake error, HDC system fault, special programs fault etc etc.
The dashboard symbol lights flash on and off in groups rather than all at once....
No recent mods, off road excursions, or bad weather etc etc.
Guys, any ideas etc greatly appreciated....
Cheers,

As Wiggs says
The clicking is the starter motor trying but not enough power in the battery to spin the engine over
