    Disconnect the battery negative lead for at least 20 minutes.

    When you reconnect it, WAIT for 5 minutes before turning on the ignition.

    Hello thanks for reply.

    the AA chap did a similar thing which he disconnected for 12 mins I think and then leaving the ignition to position 2 for a few minutes. Nothing happened. 
     

    with the test mode I get

     

    DTC 1  C100

    DTC 2 E510

    engine is cold so not sure why the high temp message comes up along with engine system fault.

    You need to get the real full Ford diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) using FORScan. Only then will you be able to get a proper diagnosis.

    Thank you so much!

    I did this and got it started.

    however there was a blown fuse in the glovebox fuse box which I also replaced.

     

    looks like I’ve got a oil leak now though as I was tinkering around and pulled out some plug which appears to make some oil leak out.

     

    been googling this but can’t find out what this socket/cable/plug is called.
