Ok so I'm �100 down. Just bought a new battery thinking this may be a contributing factor. No. In fact I'm now getting the "HDC fault, system not available" constantly now along with a warning triangle at the bottom of the screen that wasn't there before. So I have a dead car that needs to be shifted by the morning. Great !

Ok, so the steering isn't locked. I do however get a single beep before everything shuts down.

I don't have any concrete suggestions, but the solid brake pedal would concern me - why is it solid? Since the pedal must be depressed to enable starting is this also the cause of the non-start? Is the HDC error message related to this? Sounds like you could have a problem with the braking system which is having knock-on effects. Given the potential safety implications I'd want to check that out.

Brake pedal, I now believe , may have been stiffer due to constantly trying to start the vehicle. There is enough movement for the gears to be selected. I think it may have been pumped a few too many times. Like any brake pedal,if you give it enough pumps it will stiffen up. |

It still sounds like a power related issue to me. The "HDC not available" message is the go-to-error for when battery power is low during cranking...

The battery is brand new , fully charged and comes with a 3 year warranty. The old battery was a Halfords job that wasn't the correct rating, but something Halfords list as being correct for the i6.
