No idea, but try d/c the battery for 30 minutes?

I assume this has stayed like this after turning the car off and on again.

Fabia showed something similar when the battery was in need of replacing, so that would be first thing I'd check....

Ahhhh bless, it doesn't want you go and leave it all on its own over Christmas.

Seriously though, hope you get it sorted.

Well half way through my journey the displayes slowly came back to life, and now show everything as they should. They must have got damp in all this cold wet weather.. panic over
