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.
