When I finally found it I scanned it intending to fill it in electronically - I have poor writing! - and while hunting noticed my phone battery was dead. So I changed the battery (LGV20 has a replaceable battery) and is so doing must have licked the battery as it caught fire - scary since it woudlnt go it took a while to find womething to lift it up and thrown it out of the window - and took the thought of the request for information out of my mind it took a few days to sort out the mess (new carpet etc) and then I started in on the mail, discovered the request for information, filled it in and sent it off So I was surprised when, on or about 3/11 I received this Proecdural Notice (dated 27/10) charging me with Failure to provide information. -

JAGUAR X TYPE 2.0D 2007 - JAGUAR X TYPE CODE 34 / FLASHING CODE 34 / 33 7 Aug 2020 (Forum)
So I decided to disconnect the two pretensioner cables from the front connector, just incase there was a faulty connection, did this then put everything back in reverse order. Connected the battery and switched on the ignition. To my amazement the error code changed from 34 to 33, this indicates that the Front drivers side safety belt pretensioner circuit was at fault. So did exactly the same with the front seat, disconnecting the battery and waiting 5 minutes then removing bolts and then discounnecting the two pretensioners from the front connector, put everything back in reverse order. connected the battery again, and to my amazement I did not have any codes flashing, so it was just a loose connection under both seats. -

MINI One D R50 2005 1.4D - Alternator gets every hot even with ignition off 5 Jul 2010 (Forum)
However, yesterday he parked it on the drive and went back out to it about 10 minutes later and it would not start - nothing, battery was flat. I connected jump leads to it from my car and we couldn't get it to jump either - whilst the ignition lights came on they were flashing on and off and and we couldn't get the engine to turn - just the solenoid click. -

mondeo tdci 2.0 06 plate - Starter motor problem 27 Jan 2021 (Forum)
Hi, recent cold weather and reduced use due to the lockdowns finally finished off the battery, which was the original to the car. I have the daughters car as well so left the Mondeo a few weeks until the weather improved. Finally purchased a new battery and fitted it only to find that the starter motor turns all the time the battery is connected, without the key in the ignition.
