Electrical gremlins

Well I popped out in the GTS this evening to fuel up ready for a trip to Nuvola first thing, only to discover the airbag and seatbelt warning lights on, a black satnav stereo and aircon display, not sure what else is not working.

The car drives fine and all lights work etc so I will leave it to the experts to sort tomorrow -

Can't imagine what's happened as all was perfect on Sunday.

I can't remember if we've had his conversation before but do you have a new battery on board?

 

[Scaf]

The battery is as was supplied with the car when I got it in March, I have had no issues and the car starts nice and lively not sluggish or anything.

I am fortunate that it's booked in for tomorrow for a parking sensor so I am sure Nuvola will sort it - fingers crossed

 

[StuartW]

My battery was only 6 months old and started the car fine but the fault codes that mine registered were low voltage codes which were caused by a poorly functioning (Yuasa) battery so it could be as simple as that.
Good luck, I'm sure it will get sorted out and say hi to Nareman for me

Apparently, Yuasa batteries are known to be faulty in the Maser size. If, for any reason, a new Yuasa doesn't hold charge, or gives low-voltage faults, take it back and change it for something, anything, that's better.

Definitely, I went for the obligatory Bosch and it was perfect through the winter and has a 5 year warranty too I believe

thanks for the input, I have no idea what make battery is in the car.

Sorry to hear abt your car.

Am I hearing that Nuvola isn't just doing sales? But also does maintenance/service as well?

Thanks

No, he's still sales only, the cars are collected and driven to and from Lancaster's...

Being new to ownership I was not aware they we're only sales, I called them about my parking sensor and its booked in for tomorrow so they definitely do those and I am hoping they can sort this as well, will let you know tomorrow.

 

[rivarama]

I see. Thanks

As has been said a lot, buy a battery conditioner - never had a problem in 5 years since I got one and my car flattened its battery in month 3 from new.

This is correct, they take main dealer work to the main dealer but do have some work done by independent and they have a bodyshop guy (hence the help with fitting the parking sensor)
I left my car with them and they have agreed to get it sorted for me which is great news and very helpful.
