Rob- Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 It is, I'd charge the battery and go from there. Flat battery can cause all kinds of weird and wonderful electrical oddities lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Syxx Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Holy f**k!!! Awesome mate and those seats are the icing on the cake. The colour is pretty spot on to my cinnamon so glad you went for the one I recommended.This for me is now one of the best E46 on this forum by far.Get it lowered more and it will be perfect.

Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 cheers, yep very pleased with the colours, its been lowered yesterday and 12mm spacers on the rears too which looks great, but its still a bit high for me, trouble is he reckons its only got 3 turns left, culprit is the weight reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 i just used some jump leads to get the window up and nothing, wouldnt even try to turn it over is it possible they have f'd up some wires putting it back together?

Chimp Choker Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 How long was it on the jump leads for. May need trickle charging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 i had the charger on it for 2 hours then tried the window but wouldn't go up so i tried the jump lead method, really worried its f'd atm, just checked every fuse and they are all ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 thing is the window went down extremely slowly in little judders but i hadn't touched the window, i presumed i might of double pressed the key fob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Our cars act really weird when voltages are low. How long was battery off the car for whilst the work was being done, and how old is the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 battery was in the car for 2 months without it being turned on and then 6 months out of the car, im sure they didnt trickle charge the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 im leaving it on low charge over night, if that doesnt work is the only way to check getting a new battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd_330 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I hope its an easy fix for you mate theres always something to stop you enjoying your car especially now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 well i tried it again after a few hours and the window moved about 10mm then the interior light went very dim and it all stopped again, so looks likely its the battery should the charger be on high or low? thats all the controls on it, its been on low so far but my mate thought it should be low for charging over a long time and high for a quick 30 min blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannockwolf Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 is this the best one to get tomorrow, i need it running quickly and there aint a lot of motor factors around me that im aware of http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-wiper-blades-batteries/batteries/yuasa-12v-silver-car-battery-hsb096-5-yr-guarantee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
