Flat Battery - Again - tyke2 - 04-11-2012 01:49pm
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.

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

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.......
