Lots of orange warning lights came on
Driving home last night, all of a sudden, a load of warning massages started to flash up on dash and orange warning trialngle came on.
Messages were something like
HDC failure, drive with caution
Gear Box Fault, drive with caution
Parking brake fault, drive with caution
There were a couple more but I cant remember them. They kept flashing up one after the other. I stopped the car, turned it off, waited a few seconds and then started again. Everything was then cleared.
Should I be concerned? Was it just the car getting confused?
Anyone else had this issue?

Could be battery low on charge if you do a lot of short journeys with everything electrical on the car is not getting enough of a run to put back what you are taking out.
Give the battery a trickle charge overnight or if you have towing electrics make yourself a lead up and charge it via the white tow socket MY18 D5 HSE LUX😎

That sounds like a possibilty. We have been using the remote Heater during these frosty mornings, and electric seats, and the lights on
Only short jouneys to take the three kids and two dogs to school (the dogs love the school run )

Got to be it ..... symptoms exactly the same as mine
Plugged it in give it a good charge and should be right as rain. But keep giving a charge now and then if you are keeping up with the short journeys
I charge mine every night and just unplug it after ive had my heater running in the morning MY18 D5 HSE LUX😎

Thanks for that..
All sorted.
I can now use this as an excuse to force the other half to let me take the car to work and give it a run!
Cheers
