Jeff E Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Has anyone experienced this. After 80 miles around Brands Hatch so car pretty hot ,I went to refuel, then car would not start. Nothing, no ignition lights . Checked battery connectors all ok. Tried jump start, nothing , no ignition lights all completely dead. After 15 minutes standing it fired up. Returned to circuit, 1 mile , switched off, would not restart, as before nothing. Boot lid wierdly self locked. Disconnected battery, reboot ?? After 15 minutes started. Set off home but after 60 miles as cruising along suddenly no power. Engine running but wouldn't go above 1800 rpm. Luckily got to a layby, engine running and all warning lights had come on, ABS, ECU, Traction control etc. Then it stopped and would not start. During 2 hour wait for breakdown, kept trying it, nothing. Break down chaps battery booster and it fired up. Showing 14+volts charging . He brought me home and car started. Car started this morning but to 2-3 minutes for it to show 14V+. Breakdown chap said when lights all came on usually alternator not charging but it is. Also did not tell him about my earlier problems Any ideas as daren't risk using until get sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Possibly an aftermarket immobiliser causing issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
