It sounds like a BSI reset would be a good moved. If you search this site you should find instructions.

And welcome to the site.

Hellloooo


As a tip, when you do it, give the battery a good charge for a few hours (go mow the lawn/have breakfast) and reconnect with a good charge in the battery.

If it is it may be fixable.
When James (HellRazer) spots this he will supply the name and address of a guy who repairs them for a very agreeable price compared to a new one.

Erm, I have never had to have a BSi repaired. Did you mean a different James by any chance, Steve?

No, convinced it was you who had made the recommendation before James.
Wrong again :(
I blame the Alzheimers* :(

*Which the spellcheck would have as Altimeters :roll:

Anyway, I believe that BBA Reman do them but there is another highly recommended repairer, somewhere in the Leeds/Manchester area.
