has anyone else experienced this??

if i haven't driven the car for appx 3/4 days, i'll b quite lucky if she starts, (have had to jump start on occassions). is all the security drawing too much from the battery or is there a problem??

if the battery has gone, will it be covered under warranty??

thanx paul

 

sounds like either a duff battery or something is draining it. I left mine at Heathrow for 3 weeks (brave, I know!!!) and it turned over and started up as normal.
Not sure on the warranty aspect - I guess a battery is a wear and tear item but probably depends on how friendly you are with your dealer.

Hi Paul

I had this problem when I first brought my scooby, and I think it was down to getting used to the immobiliser/alarm etc. Had a new battery fitted and stopped ******* around with the immobiliser fob and it's fine now. I understand battery problems can be frequent with scoobys so you might wanna get a heavy duty battery? but have a search on sacoobynet as this problem is regularly covered.

Cheers
CHRIS.

 

first step, change the batt i guess. then if persits, i do have a problem.

i'll still give a go with the old warranty line, never no.

i had to get a new battery last month, 2 knackered cells.

went to partco and got a red one that matches the plug leads.
tarty i know.

 

was that a heavy duty bat?? appx how much??

2 b honest, i could'nt drive the car for about a month when i first bought her due to recovering from an op, had to charge the bat up to start her and its never been the same since.

 

i think it was just under £40.
it was a pretty big one, only just fits in the gap.
ohh err misses.

 

tight fit eh?

i think mine might be heavy duty already then cos it was a bloody tight fit when i put the battery back on. by the time i finished, i had no skin left on my hands.

£40 aint bad, cheers kev

 

MY wrx sl 03 was left armed for a week while i was in NY and failed to start, i have only had it 3 weeks!
