OK finally got car MOT'd and had to jump start it with power pack cause batt was low..

get to post office for tax and then cant start it, we try jump starting it from me mams car but decide the battery is just plain dead so swap it for my brothers old one...

Voila starts up fine BUT power steering light is on the dash? but its working fine, no leaks. WTF is it? got battery off hook now to reset ecu if its that

well im assuming is power steering, its on the right hand side lit up in orange and looks like a tank picture.

it will show up soon as you turn ignition on and the whole dash lights up
