Since my battery went flat and despite trying full ctec regeneration and charge and subsequently fitting new Excide battery, many faults have remained so any suggestions would be most welcome.
Dale has been round and cleared then on his machine (the ones listed were all related to low charge) so we expected and over night reset and the fresh battery would see the end of them, but sadly this has not been the case and most remain.
When Dale was here the ABS pump was chugging when the ignition was on, this has cleared itself now (after a short drive yesterdaybut to add to my woes the car would not go beyond 2nd gear.
Also EPB was not working but this has cleared itself and although it’s off by default at the moment it does allow me to turn it on and off (see video).
I have got the car booked in with Matt in February for some unrelated work but at this rate it will be taken there on the low loader and his team will have the fu a bd games of tracing this problem.
the new battery was reading 12.5 v which Dales says should be fine, but I have given it a charge anyway and it was over 13v when I took this video.
Help !!
(the boot was open by the way, that’s not a fault)
