Hi, I should probably have been more specific. Alternator and battery check out fine, battery is new. It’s the accumulation of that 8amp drain along with short journeys that’s causing the starting issues as the battery is getting excessively depleted by the drain and isn’t getting fully...

Hi all. Merry Christmas! Wondered if anyone could shed any light on my parasitic drain issue. i have established through using an Amp clamp that after a journey my car sits locked on the driveway drawing approximately 8 amps for ten to fifteen minutes before returning to a normal drain of...

You’ll find it here

As per above, seems like you haven’t transplanted the ID48 Chip. Looks like a tiny glass fuse and is embedded into the shell. It’s this that the car recognises to disarm the immobiliser and allow starting.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'd be perfectly happy with just a remote fob that operated the doors and disarmed the alarm (no key blade and no immobiliser chip) as I have my valet key as a spare to start the car. I'd just keep said fob and the valet key on the same ring as my spare set and...

Afternoon All, wondered if anyone could help. I only have one fully working key fob which operates the central locking and starts the car. I have a “valet” type key with no electronics or buttons for the central locking, but it starts the car ok. Issue is if I use it to open the car from the...

Hi guys, please can someone help. You’ll see from my other post I’ve been trying to locate the tracker in my car due to suspected parasitic drain. I have now located and disconnected all of the plugs (haven’t cut anything). Only one cable left which doesn’t have a plug and disappears down...

thanks mate

Hi all, as per the title I wondered if anyone could recommend a garage to work on my 2012 GTS. I am in Ayrshire but keen to hear about anyone in Scotland who knows their way around our cars. I’ve been kindly directed to the best place for parts in another thread so I’ll be supplying a...

Sounds more like it! Thanks a lot

Very helpful indeed thanks. Not looking to scrimp on the car either but my eyes have been opened as to the sensors etc that are shared with VW etc and a fraction of the cost. My local dealer in Hamilton, Scotland quoted £1800 for a minor service and £3k for a major….which is significant...

Hi all, this is my first post. My account verification got stuck for a while and only just had it fixed. I wondered if there are any alternative parts for servicing my 4.7 GTS. I know there are load of electrical bits which are interchangeable from other cars but I'm after an oil filter...
