Nightmare Jump Start - Peace of Mind Needed

[telectrix]

start with just the battery, better still you can usually get a reasonable one from local auto breakers for a tenner or so. then if it works, consider a new battery.

Cheers will do. An ECU for her polo is only £20 on eBay, sounds like there isn't a lot to them and it's plug and play (she's got an X reg 6n2, no immobilizer or central locking). I think both for the peace of mind, but the car isn't worth as much as an alternator would be.

Are you recommending I also get a new battery on my car?

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I think you've been lucky.....
PS just admit it was you......I know I wouldn't let anyone place the leads without checking before I crank it on.
