Default Electrical Issue?

Was driving this morning and the brake and ABS light started flashing and the radio went all staticky then returned to normal. Then when I tried to start the car after going to Altapac it started then stopped. Tried starting and all I got was a click. Removed key tried again still just a click. Getting worried by this stage. Removed key again and heard the noise it makes when key is removed and retried and it started ok. Trip meter now wiped and radio was off and clock reset.

Anyone else had this issue? Should I be concerned?

could start with bettery terminals??

you'd need to make sure that there is a connection there and it's good for everything to be wiped like that sounds like it's lost all battery charge and stuff???
perhaphs, start with that??

otherwise. you have some gremlins that need a telling off

Si!!!

Could be the battery too. I remember having issues with both, the WG and the WH when the battery was on it's way out.

Second that, sounds like a new battery. Have you put a voltmeter across the battery. You need 12.5V plus on the battery otherwise its time for a new one.

I'd say battery connections are loose. I had that problem once with same symptoms.
