182 won't start

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

Recently the battery has been going flat and this is with me doing a 25 mile each way journey everyday to work and back.

So I don't know if the battery is knackered or somethings draining it. Anyway, went to jump start it again, nothing, battery charger for a few hours, nothing, even tried the old push bump start nothing...


What are the possible problems here?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

I have poped a new battery in to see if this helps and it still doesn't start

whats the worst case senario?

 

[Sideways182]

Mine would turn over endlessly but not start.
Turned out to be the cam position sensor - removed it, gave it a clean it was was right after.

imobiliser isn't clearing.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

imobiliser isn't clearing.

I see, what could this possibly mean? Im not very clued up.

The thing is all the signs of whats been going wrong have sort of happened over a week or say. It appeared to be a flat battery. So after charging the battery up and the odd jump start here and there it was fine. Then the car was left for 2 days, not driven and nothing. The battery charging, bump start, jump start and even a different battery didnt work, iv cleaned out the sensor... as above and that did nothing

 

[bloke]

is the battery that's on it good? they can be funny to say the least if battery voltage isn't spot on.

 

[JamesBryan]

Possible key fob battery as well, but check the car battery first.
