HELP GRAHAM JUMP START HIS CAR IN GREENWICH PLEASE

[GrahamS]

Is anyone driving through Greenwich this morning that can help jump start my 182. The radio has drained the battery and I desperately need it this morning. I live on the corner of Trafalgar road and Maze Hill.

I would be infinitely grateful and give you £20 from my student wallet.

I've been saved working now

Has the tripometer been resetting? If so I'd suggest replacing the battery as this is a sign of battery failure.

It hasn't. We changed the radio for a Bluetooth one on Wednesday which has clearly drained the battery! In the bin that one goes! I do have that problem on my track car though so will give the battery a swap. Thanks for the tip

Did you swap the constant/ignition wires round? I'm sure I've read on here you need to do that?

No worries. Glad you got your car started. Hope you can get a refund on the radio! If you want Bluetooth get a connects2 with an iPhone connector you can then use a Bluetooth adapter to make the radio Bluetooth but this only works for music.

I didn't no because the radio doesn't have a patch harness. Seemed to work fine in the kangoo when we had it which is strange.

It was a freebie I've had laying around for ages luckily! I might try that as I'm looking for a way to solve the wired aux issue without getting a big ugly parrot display.

did you have it connected to permanent live rather than switched live?

This is my thinking.

You have to remix the ignition?

Love it. Top effort.
