First problem of ownership :headbang:
My Bluetooth failed Saturday afternoon and didn't think to much of it other than damn I've got to source a new ulf unit for it. I then park the car up and don't drive it for the rest of the weekend.
So this morning (Monday) I go to get in the car to drive to work and the battery is completely dead. I open up the boot, take off the carpet battery cover and have a look at the battery. The little window that normal glows green is completely black. The battery is a aftermarket replacement that is just over three years old. So I nip up to ecp and pick myself up a new battery, get it fitted and the car starts fine. So off I go to work. on the way of my short journey I stop off at garage to use the cash point, but when I get back to the car and go to start it, the car cranks but just won't fire. I give it another go and after about 6 cranks the engine springs into action.
Once at work I check for a drain on the battery and all looks good. No more than 0.02 amps.
Anyway it comes to the end of the day I jump in the car and it fires up straight away and I head home. I park the car up and head indoors for no more than 10minutes before I'm back out to the car and try to start it. The bloody thing is cranking but not firing! So I give it a couple more goes and fires into action and I head down to my indie to explain the problem. Of course it wouldn't do it again while was with him! The car fired up after just a couple of turns.
Anyway he's going to read the codes tomorrow but I wondered if anyone hear had any ideas.
Cheers.
