I can rule that one out I fitted a brand new heavy duty Bosh battery.

Thanks for all the advice, I've fitted the additional earth strap and checked connections as far as possible, but I'm seeing multiple intermittent across a number of control module's during diagnostics that you can reset, but when you restart they are all back. Time to say good bye to the beast.

Thanks for that but cant see how to get the left hand boot trim comes off?
