Well luckily didn't have to use the battery so we return it during the week. But will bear in mind when I need to replace it cheers.

So I went to the car - I wish I had tried to start it before I did anything but I didn't. So tried to get the car out of Park as per the instructions in the owners book but I couldn't find this yellow plastic part?? all I could see was a light blue button at the top of the gearbox housing which I managed to push down (went forward) but couldn't get it out of park but I did feel the shifter move slightly. So I then though perhaps the ignition should be on as well? So turned the ignition on didn't get the fault EPS up as I was on Friday when switching on the ignition. So I tried and it started on the button no lights or faults reported on the dash drove home fine no issues. I wander if it could be an issue with the shifter, so when I stopped and put it in park it didn't hit park properly and still thought it was in gear?? If anyone has any thoughts on this. Scanned it with VCDS when I got back loads of codes on first scan cleared them and just I the one fault which I have had since owning the car i have uploaded if you want to take a look.

So I got a Yuasa 3000 which is 71ah 680A EN 3 years warranty from GFS Parts in East Grinstead £87.00 (10%off) this was the nearest battery I could get yesterday that matched the spec of the battery I have which is a Varta 70ah 680A EN.

@Crasher The VIN is TMBFP65J8B3050768 I have got a battery but lets see what you come up with see if the one I got is any good?

I think they only use a dolly for short trips?? But I think I'm gonna go for the new battery could be a quick fix if not should be able to take it back. If it doesn't start get it neutral get get it recovered back home then I know an auto technician and take it from there Thanks for all your help everyone I now have a plan thanks to your comments.

Cheers no it would be recovered by RAC

@Crasher what battery do you recommend - I have search on google but a range of batteries are coming up for my reg from 50amps to 70 amps I assume the 70 is best

The only other thing i can think of is I fitted a dashcam hard wired into the fuse box using the dual fuse holders to plug in it has been in the car for over 6 weeks now but could that be causing an issue I made sure i stayed away from crucial fuses can't remember what I used now. It was an asdome M300s and the JYX04 hardwire kit??

Yeah found that in the owners manual - if I can get it into neutral I'll be able to get it recovered home which will make it a bit easier for me to do some research and try out some of your suggestions. Back to the battery he also had a battery pack on the battery so would this have corrected a low voltage if that what was causing the issue. Do I leave it as it is and just get an auto electrician to check and tell me what the issue is, just trying to save time and money. The ECU seemed a simple fix and the the option that made the most sense to me, is it worth risking the cost of a battery never had any issues with it or having troubles starting etc??

You can't move the shifter it is like its locked in P tried to move it to neutral but wouldn't shift

the battery tested fine its in the notes further up the page?

So it wasn't a light on the dash it came up in the center info panel Fault EPS I'll take a picture on Sunday So can these ECU's be repaired?? Also if it's not the ECU what could have gone to cause all the error codes and the not to start or even turn over? Like I said I have had the car 15 months and never had a light or fault flick up on the dash except the tyre pressure light??

@Crasher the RAC bloke said most of his calls are down to faulty ECU's said its a common issue for them to packup all the time???

Yeah did the battery test first when he saw the fault immediately said battery but that checked out fine, Battery test result Battery Test Battery Manufacturer: VARTA Rating of battery tested: 640EN Chemistry of battery tested: FLOODED Rated Ah of battery tested: 70 Smart charge: No Battery Test Results Time: 11/04/2024 16∶36 Temperature: 20.6°C Measured voltage: 11.99Volts Measured rating: 314EN Reserve capacity: Good Reserve State of health: 60% State of charge: 29% Test Result: Serviceable Recharge System Test Jump pack used: No Starter Avg voltage: 0Volts Starter Avg current: 0Amps Starter result decision: No Start Alternator test decision: Test not Performed First drain test voltage:11.99Volts First drain test current: 0Amps

Yeah that was me it was definitely EPS that came up on dash. The car is in Surbiton Surrey KT5 at work normally in Crawley West Sussex. I haven't decided on whop to send to after speaking to them that wanted part numbers etc which didn't have so was going to remove and call Monday. In the running though is a company call ECU Testing or AC Tronics
