[QUOTE="ruston, post: 466457, member: 27805"] Reading between the lines this is a low mileage vehicle . Has the problem been that the vehicle is stored and only used infrequenty ? If this vehicle has been parked up with an already depleted battery and other redundant systems are requiring power for long standing periods , this may evenntualy draw the battery reserve level to a state that it will not produce the high cranking amps to start a 1900cc engine. Even with the ECU asleep there will be a small draw on the battery , enough in time to take your reserve down to below it's required starting level. All of the above posts are also valid. I presume the auto electricians did as suggested in above posts? [/QUOTE]
