hello guys

my mondeo has been having the warm start problem lately where it will start when cold no problem but a pain when warm. anyway I was out last night and when I got in my car to come home I had no battery left to get the car started, I asked a taxi driver to let me use his battery to give my car a boost with jump leads and when we connected them up the dash just flashed like crazy and then died. so now I have no ignition circuit.. the dash lights up but with nothing at all to do with the ignition....any ideas??

replies would be much appreciated

thanks
