I would take it to kwik fit first and get them to do a test on the battery.

Loads of info on batreries on here, but have a look for the euro car parts discount codes as they will get you up to 25% off the battery of your choice. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

use the FBH on a cold morning for half an hour and then try and start the it, that will let you know if the battery is in good health or not!! Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE

Yup, got the FBH running at weekend using remote. Fifteen mins trial run, starts ok. Let it run for half hour, not a chance...dead man's click like you said before. New battery to be ordered next...... |

This is pretty much exactly what happened to mine - I usually run the FBH for 15 mins and its ok. Last Wed I ran the FBH for 30 mins because it was -3 outside and the car wouldnt start

I get intermittent appearance of the digital time on the dash, how do you set it ? I also had 'dead mans click' after leaving the FBH on for 30 mins. (2007 FFRR Vogue SE) |
