Help Tuscan won't start

[chalky white]

Morning all, went to get my POJ out of the garage this morning and found it unlocked. A bit odd I thought as I normally wait until the arming sequence has completed before closing the garage door. Got into the car inserted key, disarmed the imobilizer and the engine won't turn over, just get the dash display flashing on and off rapidly.

locked the car up, took the wife to the station in the other car (a must apparently). When I got back I went to unlock the car to be met by the arming sequence. Waited a few seconds and tried agin, now its continualy arming and I can't get in. Any suggestions gratfuly recieved.

Same happened to me recently, boot no closed properly, battery drained over a while, try to use the car and the alarm does mad things similar to you described, hopefully youll be able to charge it, mine was buggered and needed replacing.

How long since you'd last used her? If more than a week apparantely the alarm/immobiliser can drain the battery in that time if it's old or the car is just used for short runs.

I concur re the flat battery

flat battery it was, jump start all ok. Mind you jump leads cost me £50.

You can get the the jump leads with TVR connector on EBay for around £30 including postage. I have bought 2 sets recently. Good quality...good delivery. Can give details if anyone interested.

One for my Tuscan and one for my son's Tamora. We TVRs.
