Hi All,
I have a strange starting issue with my rrs, I can use it every day for a week and if I unlock it, get in and start it there's no problem but if I unlock it load it up lets say for 5 mins and then try to start it, it then wont start and just clicks?

Anyone had a similar issue or know what's wrong.

Thanks Steve.

Battery, had it before parked up all night start in morning no problem but leave boot open for 10 minutes and no start, you need to get it checked out.

How do you get it started when this happens?

After you load it close the doors lock it and then unlock.

Some have noticed a time out from unlocking to starting time on other models. Cant say I have noticed it on our L322, but worth a try.

Jump it off a spare battery I have.

If you have to do that then definitely check the battery.

If you open and close doors a few times while loading up.. that will flatten a battery in no time.
Get it checked.. many places will check for free
