Just been sat waiting for my wife, engine off stereo on and I think my lights, went to wind my window down and the ASC warning light came on???? Now car won't start just does weird clicking? Do you think it's the battery?

sounds to be the battery alright.get a set of leads and jump start it.
if it starts give it a good run to charge up the battery

If your car still has the Panasonic battery might be worth changing as they are not the best.

They all run low on charge this time of year. Doesn't take much to finish them off esp if you left your lights on!

Might be best to try not run it down again. Does it get many long runs during the day w/o all the lights etc on?

Fairly long run but lot of stop start, may just get a new one, there is nothing worse than being stuck with the bonnet up, I can feel the smug stares, would be happy to pay £150 to avoid that!

Ok mate, hope it doesn't happen to you again
