Very strange one this morning. Cranked it over and it appeared sluggish, eventually started. Immediately went into SVS mode. Limping along.

Mate said to try charging the battery then disconnect and reconnect and see if that works. Amazingly did this limping along with revs not going over 3k. Big mistake to take it along the A1 but there you go.

Disconnected the battery when I got back, left it for 45 mins. Car started normal with SVS & limp mode cleared.

So now Im after a new battery (f

Can I just disconnect the battery for a refresh of the system or does it come with complications..... Radio codes... Central locking etcc

Hi guys newbie here just wondering if anyone has fitted a tesla style head unit to an Astra j gtc and suffered any battery drain

Hi
I bought a 13 reg Astra J  1.7 diesel 3 years ago & I need a new battery..
Is it a straight swap in & out or are there any nuances I need to know before I change? Alarm/door lock/anti theft etc etc

I dont know if my car has a stop start system because it never worked but would not surprise me if it had it?
Is there any way of know whether a car has stop/start system or not


cheers

My question is the replacement AGM batteries are quite expensive , can I go to regular flooded or will that cause me issues?

Thanks.

Then I fitted a new battery. The stereo was working right up to the battery change. Now it is as dead as a dodo as is the top display and the indicators no longer make a noise.
