Battery, or failing alternator. Check the battery to see if there is a good charge on it.

It would help to know the model and year of your "x", age of the battery. Agree with WallyX5, check your battery. These vehicles do strange things if you don't have a good battery.

Cheers,

We have no way of knowing the exact problem as we have no way to physically diagnose or test anything over an online forum.

That said, if you are on the original battery from 06 that very well could be the cause, but you usually have other symptoms to go with that. Your best bet may be to wait for the actual diagnosis.

Just get them to sort it. By the time you have messed about it could cost you more. At least they know what the're doing and you'll have some come back should things go wrong.
