Sorry, that’s what I meant to say - using remote with engine running! I was Just about to post the message!

Yeah I understood Ron, will give it a try later but I did have the warning on the screen excessive battery usage or something along those lines.

I seem to remember way back when someone had problems with the unit when the plugs were not fully and properly seated - the engine running will eliminate this and steer you towards a low / poor battery.

Ok - will take a look later this evening - think it could be the battery, hope so or it is take everything apart again

Depending on what charger you bought could be worth doing a recondition and charge first time round

Bought a smart charger so should be able to do that - sounds a sensible thing to do as well Andy

On charge - well in repair mode anyway

Hope so, the charger said it was fully charged but I have the excessive battery discharge warning when trying to open the top with the remote

Did you fire it up and try it ?

Not yet - its still 0 down here so not moving the roof unless it is slightly warmer - had the charger on here for 4 hours so hopefully its going to work.

Looks like we got a shed load of snow due as well so may have to wait until next week - may take it into work and put it into the unit and try it there

A good run won’t do the battery any harm either

Did 100 miles yesterday, had to do my days penance in the office - trouble is dark on the way in and way home
