Hi Guys
Help pleased - I am very depressed, in the recent past, whenever I have returned from a business trip abroad (every other week typically) the Masers won't start. I charge the battery overnight and all has been generally well.
The car is an 04 coupe 40K on the clock with he original battery, so deciding the battery was on it's way out, I have bought a new one and fitted it.
It is stuck in first, reversed into the garage, close to the wall and I can't move it - fitting the battery was a nightmare!
It was my plan to disconnect the tracker (which isn't registered) just to ensure it wasn't draining the battery once I could move the car.
The car goes through all its prelim ignition process but, turn the key and .....nothing, no click from the solenoid, no rattles from knackered starter.
OK, more info,
1) It had new clutch about 8K ago
2) When it has finished its ignition process, I have the following lights on the dash
3) Orange EOBD icon - which I presume is the problem, but what the **** is EOBD?
4) The ignition light in the top centre of the voltmeter showing its not charging
4) Handbrake light
and of course seatbelt lights - everything else works, mirrors, lights, seats, sat nav
Any comments, help guidance - even a bit of humour would help!
Thanks men
Regards
Gary
