Hi guys,
Okay, for anyone who hasn't read my previous thread, I went to Holland to buy a Hymer Mercedes B555 1992. Drove it some distance Tilburg to Rotterdam, stayed in a hotel, the next day it wouldn't start.
Dutch AA guy tested the batteries and they were both broken. I went to kwik fit and bought new batteries. It seemed to be okay, great as soon as it started, but had a problem a couple of times which seemed to be the immobiliser (stupid thing on the dashboard you have to connect with thing on key fob, before you put the key in).
Okay, so new batteries were put in Saturday afternoon, got back to Harwich Tuesday night and finally back up to Scotland Thursday night. Lots of driving and okay to start.
Friday/Sat no use of van. Tried to start it Sunday, I can't get it to start. It just does nothing. I have turned all the electrics off in the van, so is it the battery or the immobiliser thing that is the problem? There is clearly a problem.
Also, I am going to go to Halfords today to buy a battery charger, is there a particular sort that I need to buy? Sorry for being dim but "I know nothing".......
So, I'm away for the next week, as I've thankfully had great advice not to let it run down anymore and recharge before I go away, I can sort that out before I go, but I really need some advice as to what might be the problem.
Thanks so much! :thumb:
