well rang dealer, stated that new battery would need to be programmed into car, (cant see why), and they would prefer car in for tests in 3 weeks time.
Since then today, charged battery overnight, started car, drove to work - sidelights only (3 miles), had to restart and move car 300 yards. Came out after 4 hours and flat battery!. jump started fine.
It must be the battery, a 90 amph battery cant flatten from fully charged in 4 hours without filling the car with smoke!. Nothing seems to be running
well cant have this for 3 weeks so going to buy a decent battery and fit it, will put the old one in prior to visit to dealer.
It is so so embarrasing having an "executive" car that wont start
