So, My other half flew to France on Monday morning, returned to Heathrow at 8pm last night to find the battery completely dead.
I replaced the battery 3 weeks ago as a precaution for winter as it occasionally seemed a bit slow to start, but hasn’t been a problem, it’s a top quality varta F18.
After a 6 hour wait for the AA to arrive, a parking security guy drove by and had a jump pack and it started immediately and he drove home with no issues and didn’t stop, getting in at 5.30 am this morning!! How rubbish is that?!
so this morning I go to investigate, put the old (charged )battery on and get quite a spark as I connect the negative terminal…..more than expecte.
I connected my multimeter up to see what the car was pulling, and it promptly blew my 10 amp max meter!! So this quite a drain!
I’ve just ordered another multi meter and deemed the car out of action until further notice
where do I go from here? Start pulling fuses for central locking?
As you can imagine, A2 popularity has gone down a tad after a night without sleep
