Battery charged overnight, started straight away. Took all the advice from this post, copper wire inserted in both clamps, clamps cleaned and fuse 12 removed. Thanks to all.

Cheers Kermit. I did just that when I fitted the battery and it seemed to do up really tight. I don't know if it's managed to ride back up the post or what, but there was definitely movement when I disconnected it. Going down the wrap with copper wire route.

Thanks Nick, I'll do that asap. Fingers crossed that's problem sorted.

Getting car ready for advertising yesterday, full valet, half a tank of petrol, took it out for a drive, perfect. Went to start it up this afternoon to pick wife up......nothing! Flat as the proverbial witches tit. Battery totally drained and "engine immobilised message". This is the almost...

Found the LZIR map, but how do I get in touch with people on there? I can see their names but no link to who they are.

That's exactly where these symbols are. What is a LZIR map?

Thanks, I'll take number off and try drag and drop.

Before advertising my 4.6 V8 on other sites, I thought I'd give an enthusiast a chance to own this lovely car. I'm asking £2000 ovno. I've had it since October 2017 and it's been a pleasure to drive. It's a Japanese import so lovely and clean. I'll be 100% honest about this car and answer any...

I'll ask my local auto electrician if he's got a Nanocom.

Thanks Kermit. Which cable do I unplug, is it one behind the display?

Hello again folks. It's time to sell my 2000 P38. I don't suppose I'll get much money for it but I'd like to get it as good as I can before it goes to it's new owner. I've driven this car for over 5 years with the exclamation mark and book lights on the screen. The engine runs perfectly and...

Ok, here's what's happened. I removed F12 and left it out, car starting straight away with obvious power in the battery. I kept getting a warning saying F12 was missing. This was coming up on the dash and beeping constantly. I had a bit driving to do that day and the warning still came up on the...

That’s what I’ll do. The sparky said the draw was that high the cables on his meter were hot. Just to be clear, I connect jump leads to the negative lead and negative terminal, then connect DVM to the jump leads? Nothing to go on the positive side?

Apologies, I’d removed F22. I wondered why the front windows suddenly went off. Busy all weekend so F4 back out as well as F12. I’ll have a look on Monday.

Removed F12 but rear window still operating. . Don’t know about rear screen heater. I’ll pay another visit to sparky and try removing one fuse at a time to see if there’s still a drain. Could I do the test myself? If I use meter across battery terminals I should see voltage dropping until I...
