It is perfectly possible for the battery to just die - I had this happen once on a 7 series BMW and it cold started normally, I drove about 40 miles to a meeting then it died whilst I was in the meeting. I'd be tempted to check all your earths first to make sure they are sound battery to car and starter earth and live connections. failing that I'd be tempted to take the battery off and take it to a Halfrauds or battery shop and get it properly tested and then replace if its rubbish and recode the new one on to the car.

anything I should note when removing the battery or is it just unbolt and remove?

Just remove the battery in normal way but new one needs coding to the car on fitting

£160 and a new battery fitted but the same issue is happening. I managed to run a scan after swapping the battery (attached) but I am in the same position where it wont let me do another scan, getting the same error.

It's not the battery.
Do you get lights on the dash when ignition is turned on? I'd be looking at all the fuses including the BIG ones.

Hi Dezzy
Yep, I think that's fair to say! I suppose on the upside, my old battery was tested and the advisory was to replace it - the voltage was lower that low! I don't get any dash lights when the ignition is turned on which is how it was pre new battery. As soon as the new battery was in, I noticed straight away that the dash lights were still not coming on - I get the mileage lit up but no ignition lights. I'm not sure where to start with the fuses and where do I get new ones Big ones Any pointers on the fuses, which ones to replace, test etc - can they be tested or is the test to replace it??

sounds like it could be a bad earth
As for a jump starter pack, you should get one of those lil pocket sized ones - I have one and its fantastic (google search 'angry jester' - theres a lot of variations on the market) If youre near to me (Glasgow) I can borrow the battery tester from work and test your old battery - alternatively I can take your old one on for a charge |
