I blew a fuse earlier by fiddling with my indicator bulbs. It's in the box under the steering wheel right at the bottom, it has 'A' above it, with two next to it saying 'B' & 'C' (geddit) it's a 15amp. I pulled a 15 amp out of the next set of three (could be D, E & F, if it is, it would be D) to put it in to see if the indicators would come back on (they did)! Tried to start the car at this point & it just turned over but wouldn't fire up!
I panicked at this point & put the fuses back where they came from, including the blown one, tried again still not starting. I then stole a 15amp one from the same slot in my mum's 206 & put it in place of the blown one. Tried to start it again & it just turned over again!
I then tried locking it, setting the alarm, then unlocking it & tried to start it & failed again. I disconnected the battery & swapped it with my mum's to check it wasn't that & still nothing. I've tried pressing the red button. & my mum's car still starts when the fuse is replaced. The car sounds the same as normal when I'm trying to start it & everything works apart from the indicators (due to the blown fuse) It turns over at the same speed & with the same sound throughout it trying.
Tomorrow I'll go through the BSI reboot procedure, but has anyone else got any ideas?
Thanks guys & girls.

BSI reboot, pulling fuses when the cars live isnt a great idea

I had the ignition off when I was fiddling... BSI reboot is the way forward then? What if that doesn't work?

even with ignition off, if the battery's plugged in there's still loads of systems which are live.
pulling the fuse probably killed one and when you replaced it maybe it didnt start up correctly.
doing a reboots a good idea because it will shut everything down and let it all start up insequence again. if that doesnt work you could have damaged something by effectivly shutting something down incorrectly. reboot will probs fix it though. as its cranking but not starting it sounds like a fuel issue, have you looked to see what the fuze you pulled actually does? might be an indication lol

well its not like a BSI reboot is a big deal for preplexed, Its pretty much the case of disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. Worth a try though.

I've already disconnected the battery & connected it again when I swapped it with my mum's... Do you still think it's worth a try to do it properly? It looks like the set of fuses I was looking at are just in relation to the BSI. The one I pulled out looks like it's just the rear wiper or something it's all really confusing.

There is no proper way for a preplexed cars Twidly, thats pretty much it. Only on multiplexed you wait 3 minutes, mess with sidelights etc.

if your car is pre-plexed which i think it is if its 2000 reg then doing a BSI reboot for a multi-plexed car wont work

When I had to reconnect my battery with my old preplexed I had to quickly turn the key all the way and press on the accelerator to start the car else if I waiting on "accessories" position or something it wouldnt start as not enough power I guess due to being disconnected.
Have you tried doing it fast like that?

One was broken & it stopped my indicators from working... What else am I supposed to do... Leave it there & hope the magical fuse fairy will come & fix it? Give me a break.
