Part 2:
Used jumper cables to get the van in to neutral (automatic wont shift without power!) so we could tow it to a warm garage.
A day latter, with a fully charged battery. Changed the fuel filter.
Hey presto. Thing started first time and everything worked great.
(I think the problem was that a small amounts of water in the fuel filter had iced up around the metal sensors in the filter, and that was telling the engine to not start.
Everything worked great........for the first 300 metres, after which the ABS and ESP lamps come on.
The strange thing is, that the ABS and ESP works fine the first 300m but not once the lights come on. And the ASR (rear wheel spin correction) works fine until the lamps come on then that stops working aswell.
Very frustrating.
I know its allot to take in, but the only thing I can think happened is that something went wrong with the electrics when they started freaking out.
