Hey folks, just as a means of an update, I replaced the battery at the weekend since the S/S wasnt working and I was getting a Service Detterrent System message, and all google searches indicated that it was the battery on its way,. Took it to KiwkFit and their tester showed it at 54%.
Anyway, as per my other battery thread, I have now replaced the battery with another second hand one of the same numbers and ratings, and voila, my S/S has sprung into life. It works! Woop Woop!!
Also, although the S/S is now working, and was fine for the day after replacement, I noticed a really weird malfunction yesterday.
Started the car, all OK, but then almost immediately it cut out and asked me to press the clutch to restart, but it didnt start and came up with "service theft deterred system". Anyway, turned the key to off, and then restarted, and then all is OK and message gone. Happened twice in the same day.
Does the system just need a memory clear out ?
