Could anyone please help,  parked up last night all was well,  this morning started car reversed out then all warning lights came on , car drives but went to turn off and it kept running for a few seconds,  then went to start it and it wouldn't start but when I released the key it kept turning over until I turned key completely off and removed from ignition,  then it started fine next time but all warning lights are on . Anyone point me in the right direction of where to start looking please.

Welcome Tim.

First thing to eliminate is the battery.

Suggest getting its efficiency check - Halfords stores will do that. 
If it tests substandard then please refer back to us before committing to buy - if you have any respect for your wallet. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thank you,  I done this today and its fine, I tried scanning it but it gives no codes at all, in the display it firstly says TPMS then says brakes faulty which I have checked as best I can,  brakes work well, I should have said its automatic transmission,  if that makes a difference,

What were the actual % efficiency and CCA value on Halford’s test Tim?

They didn't tell me just  said it was as good as a new one.

Strange, owners normally ask for/ are given a print out of the results. Make and age of battery as a matter of interest? 
If the battery is genuinely up to specification, then it’s possible the the instrument cluster is at fault.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Was that new battery coded to the car? It's essential to do so to avoid spurious electronic faults such as false warning lights.
