School boy error...
I know i'm a muppet but at the time it seemed ok..

Car is a series 109 with a 200 tdi / box / axles

I went to get it out of storage yesterday, went down cranked it, battery fairly flat, not enough to start it given the cold.

put it on charge for a few hours, went back disconnected only the negative battery charger from the battery and tried to crank it. nothing. (I think i heard a pop such as a fuse going?)

I'm guessing I've blown a fuse somewhere in the line as i've got no power to the dash anymore?
I don't really know where to start looking as i've not had the car long and i didn't put the 200 in myself, anyone got any tips on where to start looking? the transplant is a neat and tidy job.

Are you thinking you have caused a problem by leaving the +ve battery charger terminal connected?

Try refitting the battery terminals. You may have corrosion preventing a decent circuit.
Battery charger won't have caused any problems. (You did connect it the right way round, didn't you?)

just an update to this,

apt, that was what i was asking...

i actually went into the fuse box and there was one that had popped out of the holder... popped it back in started first push of the button.

cheers for the responses.
