Anton8 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hi Tom Have you had the new battery "paired" to the car. The cars system needs to know that a new battery has been installed. I had this some years ago and it caused all sorts of electrical gremlins until I had it done. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1971 Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 No I haven't, but saying that I installed a new battery 3 years ago with no problems, how do I do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton8 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Sorry Tom, haven't got a clue. I took it to the garage and they plugged in their computer. I think it is just a tick box thing and everything was OK afterwards.聽 Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
