I have owned a 58 TD4s now for around 9 months. A few days ago, my battery was totally discharged & landy would not start. Checked battery, was at 9.3v. Had to jump started it. Replaced battery. Will have to now see how it goes. Landy was left for 4 days, prior to starting issue. Landy has now gone. |

I had a similar issue with my 07 FL2. Changed the battery and haven't had a flat battery since. |

No Bluetooth to stop the car electronics from shutting down on my GS. |

Not sure what your saying, can you explain? Interesting as I was using my iphone via Bluetooth when I pulled up the day before, I shut off the engine and carried on chatting on the hands free for a few mins, hung up and went into the house. Wild this have left something on that could have flattened the battery? |

The car will still search for your phone so you need to end the call then stop the car. |

What I'm saying is that in my lowly specced GS there is no Bluetooth, therefore it couldn't have stopped the car's electronics from shutting down. With no other causes of current drain, the battery had to be the faulty component which is verified by the fact that since changing the original battery last year, I've had no problems with a random flat battery or the HDC not available at all even in the cold weather last winter. |

The AA told a young lass she had a flat battery, to which she replied, well what shape should it be. |

Had problem since new on my 2009 GS Auto. Investigated by main dealer now on 6 occasions and no fix found. Carry power pack all the time now but sometimes it won't start it and have had Greenflag out 5 times in under 4 years ! It can't stand for more than 4 days or it won't start and is much worse in very cold weather when I get the HDC system failure message.

Double locking to cause a flat battery is a red herring. I've tried all this including not locking the car at all and leaving overnight and the battery voltage was the same in all lock/unlock modes.
