Thanks for responses Joe and S Collins. I am confident that the jump leads were connected properly, I have done this on various cars numerous times without a hitch. I will check all the main fuses then connect the jump leads again and leave them connected for 10 minutes and re-try the jump start. Mind you, if all the dashboard lights are still out, then there must be something else at play. Stay tuned and I'll keep you informed. Thanks again. Regards,Stevie Mac.

With the COVID restrictions my 4.2 "S" type was parked up for long periods which led to a flat battery. I therefore attempted to start it using jump leads which resulted in instantaneous loss of all electrics, that is all dashboard ignition lights died and no response from the starter motor. Conversations with car enthusiasts have suggested that a main control computer may have blown due to the high current demands of the starter motor. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to fix it. Regards, Stevie Mac.
