Sounds like you need a new battery mate

You could have a low voltage battery worth checking with a volt meter or blown fuse.

Give Leven a call in Basildon - 01268 281611.

When I first got my Chimaera it had an electrical problem which Simon diagnosed over the phone by asking me a few questions. It was a duff battery that would charge overnight on a mains charger but would not hold a charge when being driven.

Popped down to his place the next Saturday, battery fitted and a quick check over and never had an issue since. He will also be able to sell you an Accumate battery conditioner which I now keep my one on all the time.

Even if it is not the battery he should be able to tell you what the fault is.
