I have had the car now for about 2 weeks and everything is fine. The car has seen plenty of use, but yesterday morning i received a warning for battery protection (convenience functions temporarily unavailable).
After 10 minutes the warning disappeared but was back again this morning.
I know that this often points towards a tired battery, but the supplying dealer made mention of replacing the battery as part of the pre-sale prep. I can only assume that this was because he was getting the same warning.
To me, this points possibly towards a more deep-seated issue. Could it be a relay or something like that?
The car is going in to Pentangle next week for the top idler pulley to be replaced and the auto box to be serviced, so i might ask them to have a look, but a little advanced knowledge would be good.
thanks
