Failure in suspensions system and Cambiocorsa gearbox failure

[Swedish Paul]

Tried to start the car again and it wouldn't. I can hear the gearbox priming (5-7 seconds) and can select neutral manually. It started yesterday but then refused to start again. On charge overnight. Tried again today and on the nth attempt, I get these two warning lights come on. Odd that both should fail at exactly the same time. I have turned all power off and will see if the lights still come on in 20mins or so.

Suggestions? Besides setting fire to the car.

How old is your battery? Maybe it is time for a new one

That's what I was wondering. It's only a couple of years old but it does spend over 6 months a year on a trickle charger because of all the snow up here (I start it once a month when possible to warm the car up to normal temp). Before it was a 74ah/680a battery (I asked this question on another thread which Catman has just replied). And although the battery is reading over 12.5v when the car isn't on, the gauge in the car shows closer to 10. I don't know if more amps is OK.

Also, does the boot liner pull away to allow better access to change the battery? I was worried of ripping it.

Lose terminals?, may be worth cleaning them, the systems seem critical of battery condition.

The car will only draw the amps it requires so higher CCA simply means the battery is 'better' at meeting the load required by the car. Ignore the in dash gauge. It's more accurate as a clock.
