BMW 3 Series Compact E46 - Old Car Electrics 7 Nov 2013 (Forum)
On investigation later most of the dashboard lights were on as were the brake lights and the central locking did not work either.

I get a feeling that HJ is right about old electrics but this seems a case of pay up as it is quite a decent car, nowhere near scrap. -
