Stop panicking, get battery's checked first, low voltage will cause the lights to come on because the module shuts down.

Another common cause of the lights coming on is when vermin chew the wires that run below the floor.

Today's update, didn't have the time or equipment to check battery this morning, van fired up no problem with abs and ESP light still on, also the low brake pad warning light came on aswell (all brake pads changed less than 2k ago by me). Drove it about 25 miles and stopped it for about 10 minutes, fire back up fine but battery light stopped on, still ran fine so just set off back, just got on the motorway and the temperature gauge shot right to the top, pulled it on the hard sholder and stoped it will water pissing out of somewhere, it's been recovered to my local garage to investigate. Think I am having a blue astate week :lol:

Don't need to :wink: there's enough clearance just as it's 3 thin bolts not 1 thick one
