Pleaseeeeee can some one enlighten me. I have a 206cc 02 plate. In the last 2 weeks i have changed the battery and had the car serviced. For the first time 2 nights ago i was driving when the battery sign lighted up on the display, then the abs and brake fault sign, and the trip computer said BATTERY CHARGE FAULT. then braking fault then abs fault. I left it a lone then the next day the same thing happened. This time after a few minutes of flashing the car functions froze. The idle stop moving, the car would not accerlarate, the doors locked by themselves. Turned the engine off, and it would not turn on till 20mins after. Next day the engine wouldnt turn on at all.

HELP PLEASE
