    Sounds like the master fuse is blown.

    Did you accidentally connect the connections the wrong way round
    even for a second     ?

    Get another one master fuse from a scrap yard or the dealer.
    Scrap yard is the quickest option today Friday, probably.

    Will she drive over ? Don't risk it
    as she is NOT charging the battery and will grind to a halt mid journey.

    You're snookered until you change the master fuse thingy.

    Not sure, but when you get the replacement from the scrappie he'll tell you.

    Normally close to the battery, but it could be anywhere
