I had a few warnings when I left my car unused for three months and the battery discharged, however they came up after recharging the battery with a charger. This situation is covered in the manual - for instance it tells you to clear the PSM warning my driving a short distance and putting in a few ...

So how does this work in diesels?

+1 to that. 50 to 70 is the typical speed range when wheel balance shows out of true. And coming through the steering wheel, would appear to be the fronts wheels are out.
