In addition to what Nigel said (and he does generally know what he is
talking about!), Economy Mode is what the car goes into if you have sat
in it for a while with the engine turned off (e.g. sitting waiting in a
car park with the radio on). It basically shuts down some of the
electrical systems to stop the battery draining, as it assumes you've
done this accidentally. Starting the car will clear economy mode,
economy mode doesn't stop the car running. As Nigel suggests, rebooting
the car may clear your problem (don't you just love modern cars?).

Hi Nige,
did that... but
it looks like there was a fuel problem... the car would turn but not start,
so a local garage, popped over, played around with somthing to do with the
fuel system advises that i must have has a bit of dirt get into somthing,
bleed it and it started and then the econ mode was reset, all back and
working!!! inc the elcetrics after it was started. at least i now what this
is now.
all sorted now.
thanks to matt & nige for there advise, big thumbs up!. cheers guys.
