  1. Right, needed to move it last week but battery had died and needed a jump... So jumped it, took it up the road n back, left it running for 5 minutes n switched it off... Then turned key half expecting it not to start but thought I would get an attempt from the battery but it was 100% dead flat again...

     

    then a few days ago I moved it again, via jumping, and after it running for a bit it went straight dead flat again...

     

    bearing in mind the battery was new a month or so before I put the deck off road... Do I need to just leave it running longer to get a charge or do I have something which is continually draining it??

     

    my hawk central locking does have a led constantly flashing but didn't think that would be enough to trouble a brand new battery??

  2. Hey lads, and Tom! :lol:

    Cheers for the help and advise, I've decided to take her off the road for a bit to get some bits done on it... The dizzy problem was so bad it was cutting out every 5 mins or so and sometimes not starting at all!.... Needs a few other bits doing too so best not to run it into the ground and liven her up a bit!

  3. Well... An eventful last few months but extremely UNEVENTFUL for the deck!

    First of all I'd like to apologise for the lack of commitment to the forum of late, had a lot going on with the house n work etc. (Not an excuse, I know!)

    But anyway, she's been running nice for me... Until Monday, when on my way to work (after 20 minutes of normal driving) suddenly, I got an EML, then immediately the engine shut down leaving me rolling, and then the oil warning light came on...

    Then for ten minutes it wouldn't start... I checked dip stick and oil was on minimum level which I thought shouldn't cause it to not start but I topped it up anyways... Then car started fine and I carried on...

    Then this morning, same thing happened, but this time the oil level was good on the dip stick... I had just arrived at work so didn't have time to investigate right then but I thought maybe my oil was too crappy or maybe jammy filter, so I thought a good filter n oil change would do the trick...

    So I got that done after work and driving home same thing happened!! Oil still fresh n good on the dip stick... Left it for ten mins and started up again???

    I ain't got a clue what's going on, thinking more electrical now though... Has anyone got any ideas?

    I'm going to try get engine blink codes off it tomorrow n see what's the dealio!

    yes you must @Dave maybe try and do a meet in the middle of both of us?

    I would be up for that! Yet to meet the big boss!!

    Not had a chance to use any of my new stuff but she's had a quick late night wash... I can try out some polish n wax tomorrow on the stand!! :) (with a bit of guidance lol)

  5. Great work mate... Brakes are definitely something I need to invest in over the coming months, looking for a new disc pad n hoses setup but still doing research! (I.e waiting for funds! Lol)

    What's the difference with dot 5.1 and dot 4? ... We got dot4 at work, am I ok using that?
