Yesterday, something happened which reset the trip computer, clock and stereo settings whilst the car was sitting doing nothing.
At one point it wouldn’t lock, then I had several warning lights on the dash which went away while driving.
Need to get this new battery fitted ASAP!

 

[DanDiesel]

Do you know where that's located? It must be somewhere in the region of the interior can I think. I found in etka that there is some kind of drain out pipe

Sorry, can’t help you on that one I’m afraid.

Probably cause they used an extension cable from North bham. Mine has to slum it in the driveway. And I now have a fricking cat sleeping in my undershield.

“Bird nests are protected by law, but if it’s just too inconvenient to allow the birds to carry on, it may be possible to get a licence from Scottish Natural Heritage to remove it.”

You ever played angry birds? That's what'd happen to anything nesting in my bonnet!

I have a carport and i have 3 cats but only my 9 year old male black short hair tries to use the engine heat lol. A few times found the paw prints walking down the windscreen.

This morning mine broke down after dropping my son at school. Absolutely dead as a dodo!

AA arrived and he noticed that the old battery was nowhere near enough Amps for the car. Luckily I had my new battery in the boot (I was getting it fitted tomorrow) so the chap checked it and sure enough, it was more than double the Amps of the existing one!! All fitted and car is back on the road again.

13mm bolt which secures battery to the tray

Been playing about with a Carista, not a huge amount to customise on the old girl but will really help with fault diagnosis and I can hopefully avoid the charges levied by garages. It should be interesting to see how much can be customised on the Ateca we have though.

@Sharpy if you are not allready make sure you get on the Beta team (details on the Carista Thread in the MK3 Section) as I think you get more stuff sooner.
