first thing is to disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes and then reconnect ..make sure you turn the steering wheel fully left then fully right after the reconnect. ... - .- -.

I think you may find your battery is substantially flat even though your brake lights are "on".

+1 for flat battery, only takes a small drop to render the car immobile..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

thank you all for the very quick reply's chaps, well I've had to leave FF at work as the battery was so low the even boosting off the discovery would not do a thing, not even able to unlock the ignition!

I had a myriad of problems, windows going down on their own, any door left open for more than a nano second, ignition sticking etc. Was trickle charging battery as I thought I had replaced 18 months ago after it had sat dead for a year with an "unknown" ignition issue (turned out to be the instrument panel), anyway I hadnt changed battery and was still running the original!!! God knows how it lasted.
