So the battery kept going flat, I changed the battery, ever since the car won’t turn over, all of the electrics come on and then I turn the key to start the ignition and everything cuts off, I get nothing.
A few lights come up on the dash but then they change pretty much every time I turn it on, I mainly get the lightning bolt in the circle with a spanner underneath. it’s got an electric handbrake , which I think that it what that like is about. really ain’t got a clue.

Hello,

We don't have any information for your vehicle as it is a vehicle that is sold outside of the United States, but a vehicle is a vehicle. I will not be able to get any diagrams to you, but I should be able to guide you and I think we can find your problem. So, first I would check your starter relay. Here is a link for you to go to explaining how to do this:

Please do this and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
