Mobile Mechanic

[Lakelord]

Dizee, don't know of any mobile mechanics in your area (or mine for that matter) but I'm guessing when the battery drained, it may have had an effect on the immobiliser. Is there anything in the handbook - a resetting procedure?
Had the same thing on a merc of mine and you know what these Germans are like? For you tommy, the driving is over!

My thoughts too, do you get any lights up on the dash?

Ok take away the p1)s that could be ripped out of you about vauxhall and rover!
If your battery is around 3 years old its knackered,the white residue is signs of aged battery and poor maintenance.
Go to halfords and buy a battery problem solved. the battery you have will not hold a charge as its got a fubard cell or is just knackered. any amount of slaving will not work, a start and charge may do it but it won't run for long as it won't charge quicker than the coil etc draws the power.

I reckon you could get it started if you leave it connected directly to your car with your engine running. The cold weather probably hasn't helped, but how long were you leaving it before trying to start it?

When I managed to flatten my battery at heathrow (don't ask) it took another car being directly connected to the battery about 15mins before mine had enough power to actually start.

Diz it's just a low battery (I'd put money on it) connect it up to yours and leave it for a few minutes and try starting.

I'll bet a lb of banana's the battery is fubard after being drained all night!

I'll also bet I should have got some sleep at some point this week and bothered reading his whole post, that's why I deleted that
