Hi Guys,
Need your help folks.
A month or so ago, I was getting a random "Service Theft Deterrent System" message coming up randomly and my start/stop wasnt working.
So googled it and everything pointed towards a dodgy battery, especially as the start/stop want working.
Anyway, I replaced the battery for another good second hand one and low & behold, the start/stop started working so that nailed that S/S problem. However randomly I was still getting a "Service Theft Deterrent System" message.
Anyway, over the last week or so, on startup the car wont turn and the same "Service Theft Deterrent System" pops up. You take the key out and try again and we are absolutely fine with no message. If you simply turn the key to off and the turn it wont start, you have to take the key out completely. However, I have also noticed now that my start/stop has again stopped working again since this issue has started.
So, any pointers please? Cannot be another dodgy battery can it?
Any help appreciated.
With regards,
G.
