Tip of the week

If your off sick for 3 days or more and you have a tracker fitted then make sure you start your car up even if you are feeling like death warmed up otherwise it flattens the battery as I found out this morning

Sorry to hear that m8, which one do you have on there, cos i never had any problems with mine.

Cold weather killed the battery maybe?

Trackstar plus m8 - not been that cold really - 3 days is a bit cack aint it?

Hey Mate,

I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks a while back and had no trouble firing my motor up. I'd probably look at something else as the problem like interior light, alternator or maybe a duff battery etc. Then again - i may be wrong but who knows!!

Do a search about dead batteries and you will find some interesting info...

Had my battery changed on my 03 sti due to a similar problem (and so has Arron on his 02 sti)

Dealer/Warrenty should sort it...

j-k

Cheers for the advice guys - nothing left on so could be a duff battery/alternator - just recently done a 1000 miles around Europe so can't be that I'm only doing short runs! Car in for 30k service 2 moro so will mention it to them

mine sat for 2 weeks and the tracker didn`t flattern the battery

Same as mate, got the same tracker, and it stood for just over two weeks and was fine when started it! Do you have any sound system in the car, some times an amp stays on it drains the battery.

Always worth getting an Optimate trickle charger....that will give the battery enough juice
