Looks like he's crashed,    

Haha it didn't post properly!!

Started engine in the cold morning, took ages after ignition turned over. Then error about stop/start came up.

Drove down the road and had no blooming foot brakes. Handbrake yanked up and turn ignition off and on again. Then it worked fine. Had AA come out and checked (company car ) he found nothing and there was no trace of any errors on the computer. Just concerned that it will happened when I'm doing 70 on the motorway.
