Hi Have a citroen berlingo Van on an o3 plate 1.9l diesel. Put a new battery on yestereday as the battery light stayed on then after a while went off but it has stopped three times. Since putting the battey on it was ok for a while now shows battey light again.

Started up just now and the battery light went off but then the engine just stopped. Now can not start it engine does not turn over just clicks and the wind screen wipers come on when they are off on the stick

on the electronic display it shows a spanner and code 850 what does thi means please?

Thanks Roy & Matt

If the wipers are coming on by themselves it sounds like a fault in the BSI. Common problem is water ingress through wiper scuttle panel/bulkhead.
Sitting in the drivers seat, put your right hand down to a removable panel at the bottom of the dash just right of the steering wheel. you will see a black box (BSI) with fuses in it. If it has water in it then it will need replaced. Unfortunatly will require genuine part and coded/configured by dealer

Check all the earths on engine and body. Check live from battery to starter and alternator.
