Winter Battery Problems

[Digsy]

A full battery re-set may cure these little niggles

Is that in the manual? If not, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Auto wipers are rubbish. They all are.

What's wrong with the boot? They key or the buttons?

Inside button works fine, key occasionally and button on the bootlid never. I found a thread suggesting the plastic cover for the microswitch may be the problem, so I'll look at that when I have time.

Disconnect it for 30 minutes is all. When you turn it back on you should leave ignition on and not touch anything (or start) for about 3 minutes. Then ignition off and away you go.

NB I *really* doubt this will help with the auto wiper. Still interested to know what issues you're having with the boot. There are a number of known issues, which also won't get fixed by this

OK
Key needs to be pressed for about 2 seconds. There is a reset: Using the remote: Lock car. Unlock car. Press boot release 2 seconds until the indicator lights flash twice.
In honesty the remove release on these are a bit pointless given you can program them to unlock with the doors. As long as your boot button works

For the boot lid button: Open the boot and look at the button. What tends to happen is that the rubber cover gets pressed in, which keeps the switch inside. Until it releases, boot button won't work. You should be able to see if this is happening.

Hope this is of help
