no ignition lights.

no head lights.

central locking not even working. ect ect.

the starter motor isnt even clicking.

it seems like a totally flat battery, but i tried jump starting it and still got nothing. checked the conections. checked all the fuses in the boot, in the cabin, and also in the engine bay but all fuses are ok including the main fuse in the boot.

The other battery i tried is excellent i use it in my other car no probs. ive checked all the fuses including the main fuse.

Gloof i do have an immobiliser, if this is at fault could this stop power to everything though?

i found the problem..............

i must have left the interior light on, the night before it died which ment the battery was totally dead. then in the morning i had nothing tried to jump start it after checking all the fuses and it wouldn't even jump start so i continued asuming the problem was in the car...........

later with the multimeter in my hands i desided to check the jumper leads i was using for continuity. and to my surprise it turns out they where stuffed for some reason they whern't carrying the current??????? they where brand new antizap leads???????

so i tried a different older pair of jumper leads and it started...

end of drama....

cheap jumper leads are worth their weight in packing foam. :D the el cheapo chinese ones have the cable crimped onto the ends through the insulation and generaly are open circuit. either buy decent leads or cut the clamps off, bare back the jumper cables and solder them onto the clamps.

usually even if they do make contact the actual wire is so small theyb wont pass enough current to start a car without glowing red hot and melting all the insulation off them :P

i know i should have just replaced it (now)

but i thought i had a serious prob. any way my mistake.

the jumperleads i was using where (looked) like very good quality. they are the anti zap ones 400amp from a good spare parts dealer. must have just been a dud set.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
