Cheers, Roy thanks for the welcome. regards

Hi Steve2006 Thanks for that, I don’t currently but wishing I had taken it out. Something I need to correct going forward I think. regards

Hi Paulrnx Here is my car this morning, the dealer marketing and a previous MOT, which are the only documents I have that I can produce currently, other receipts are in the loft which I cannot get access to at the moment. I guess do “take the biscuit” given I was unaware of ready mode. Nobody at three dealerships I have transacted with have ever mentioned it either. I did say I was a car novice. At least you can all have a laugh at me. regards

It isn’t a windup. Why would I seek to wind people up? thanks for all the genuine replies. regards

Hi Roy, what is ready mode? thanks

Hi Roy, what is ready mode? thanks

Many thanks for the reply Herbie Yes, only short journeys nowadays, just as you describe. I did not think a new battery would succumb so soon. Kicking myself all day about not running it this week. I have put my charger on it but it gives me a buzz only and no read out at all. Not sure if my battery charger is kaput too. I will check out the video, though my car skills are zero nowadays. I have a mobile mechanic coming this week and hopefully he can fix it then I am going to sell the car asap. This is fourth or fifth time this has happened and my confidence in the car is shattered. I will get a cheap Auris or Yaris given we also have an Auris that is the proverbial tank as regards reliability and much cheaper running costs too. regards Tom

Many thanks Wharfhouse. are there suitable li on chargers that you can point me to? many thanks

Hi Everyone I have the above problem. Fully serviced at main dealers regularly, new 12v battery 9 months ago. Today the car is totally lifeless after initially giving the on screen hybrid beep message when trying to start it. Not a single light etc comes on now, not the IS logo when opening door etc. any ideas on what might be this issue? many thanks
