yeah thx
its a 2005 ,68k on clock it does not have the white battery i replaced it about 1 yr ago with a new battery and it has full service history

the only other thing i should mention is that its been raining here in england almost constantly for the last 2-3 months and i did have a drainage hole blocked with dirt and leaves which resulted in the footwell filling with water ,,this has been cleared now and is no longer letting in any water.

maybe this could have caused some damage? as i understand the ecu is under there somewhere?
