Looks stunning, and have to agree with the CTEK charger comment earlier!
Being an old fart I have had lots of cars over the years, Jags, Range Rovers etc but none have had the mainly electrical problems this has had. It reminds me of a Alfa 164 Cloverleaf I had many years ago that had similar electrical issues--. I thing Italian electricity must be different. Don't get me wrong its a pleasure to drive with that amazing sounding 4,7 V8 and I cant think of changing it but it has been into the shop a good few times since I got it 5 years agoGreat choice & very nice.
What makes you say it’s temperamental though? It shouldn’t be.
Hi catmanHave you disconnected the battery for 20 minutes then tried again?

On the left of the battery, looking at it, release the negative spring connector.Hi catman
No I haven't--do you need a radio code for these cars--does that reset all the alarms--I assume its positive off first then negative and the reverse connecting back up ????
Now back in the garage for the third time with this power issue--they have now reset every ecu and got a current meter seeing if there is a battery drain problem when the car is left for 24hrs. Lovely car when its working but this is negated by all the issues I have had. Might be a time for a change. BTW can anyone recommend Autoffacina in Epsom as I may look for a different garage from now on
Maybe take it to a specialist auto electrician. Sure like a lot of (semi) exotic cars many of us have learnt to use CTEKs but that's about it. I'm still on my factory battery after nine years.Now back in the garage for the third time with this power issue--they have now reset every ecu and got a current meter seeing if there is a battery drain problem when the car is left for 24hrs.
