Well parked up on Thursday night no problems came out Friday morning to click click closely followed by lights flashing hbd faults epb faults , yip flat battery no reason why stuck it on charge borrowed the laddies car and after 9 hours charge it's still click click
So stuck the iid tool in and got this reading
I think new battery required
Went for the Bosch S5 019 £125 from europarts with there sale 55 code
Fitting it today so I'll put some photos on but I will be following the wiki for the correct procedure
Following joe90's wiki
Car put to sleep ,this is what you are looking at
Earth cable off, end protected just in case
Next remove the cable from the jump start connection
Next disconnect the multiplug and remove the cable
You should have this
Next remove the battery clamps
Clear the area and lift out the battery be careful it's heavy
Refitting is pretty much the reversal of removal
Last thing on is the negative cable do it quickly as the system goes live and will spark a little
Both batteries side by side
The old battery is 4 years old
All done now engine off 12/12.2 volts and running 14.7 clear all the faults you'll have a few and off we go ,you'll notice 11.7 volts when you switch on as the car reads itself but it soon settles to 12/12.2 volts
