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.

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.

It isn’t a windup. Why would I seek to wind people up? 

thanks for all the genuine replies.

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.

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
