Flat Battery - Again
Well, I have just tried to start the car and its dead. This is the second time so far i have been stranded.
Looks like a flat battery. Its not as though I have all the electronic gadgets,cameras etc draining the power.

RE: Flat Battery - Again
How often do you drive the car? If you leave it standing for more than 3 weeks at this time of the year then the cold weather will not help. I use a small trickle charger to keep the battery topped up when the car isn't used for more than 2 weeks, has worked to date , except when the charger cable got snapped and then I had a flat battery!
Otherwise I think you might have the same problem as TonyS and need to get the car to the dealership
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Flat Battery - Again
Then it would be an idea to get hold of the TSB and tell the service guys that there is a bulletin covering this - often we know more about these things than the people we pay lots of money to to keep our cars serviced/ running.......
