Yesterday, we had a neighbour at the door saying the jag was flashing its hazard lights, but making no alarm sounds.
Went round and it wouldn't turn off via using the button on the key. Had to get in, start it and use the dash button to stop it.

11pm and same neighbour came round again to say they were flashing again, wouldn't turn off and had to start the car to get them to turn off.
I took it a drive as its sat from Thursday thinking it may just be a warning for the battery being low, drove 25 miles of motorway driving, it flashed a couple of times in the first 5 miles but then stopped doing it.

Came out this morning to find they were flashing, and had been flashing for so long, the battery was flat.


Now, what on earth is causing them to do this?
Going to call the dealer we bought it from to see if it's going to get covered under the warranty but would like to see if there is anything we can do to check first.
