    Hi,

    Not really sure how old the battery is as it came with the car. I think it went flat while it was there as I told them I was in no rush for it, so think they might have jump started it or charged it up, but might have a try with the disconnect as you suggest and see what happens after that - if anything but hope it all comes back to life soon!

    To answer Andy's question, they refurbed all the alloys (front and back) with the factory diamond turned finish to the front and also repainted the front bumper as it was stone chipped. Other than that, it's not in bad condition as it's only done 49,000 miles from new.

    Thanks again Nich!

    I know when mine went flat after being left for a bit I charged it but it still caused problems in spite of reading fully charged. As it was the original battery I replaced it and like magic everything worked again.

    Some members have experienced all sorts of issues such as one window working and the other not.

    Your battery should have a date stamp on it somewhere.

    Is it a 260 or a V8 R75?

    Good luck, keep us informed.

    Nich.

    I can't see myself being that lucky but found a brand new Varta battery for £50, so if the reset doesn't work, I'll try that... will keep you informed, thanks!

    Fuse 11 seems to have cured most things! I need to check more but looking good - thanks all.
