Starting Problem
Remote won't work and neither will car. Assumed flat battery but not so - when on charger, gauge fluctuates wildly, lights flash and alarm goes off. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hmm, sounds like a battery issue to me.

Was your car affected by the power lead recall notice & have you had it done?

Hi Rob,
Didn't receive a recall notice. My Zed is a 2007 3.0 auto model.

Hi, you’ve posted this in the e89 section instead of the e85 oneBullrunner wrote: ↑Tue Jun 12, 2018 9:28 am Hi Rob,

Ps, I noticed an earlier post of yours was for very similar/identical issues, did replacing the battery cure it then?

Hi guys,
Thanks for input - managed a jump start so it's a battery problem.

Hi Rob,
Sorry about misleading post - yes I think it's an E85. Checked past history and discovered it was 5 years ago battery was replaced so it's obviously knackered! Amazing how time flies when I thought it was only 3 years ago!
Cheers,
Bill.
