Kensboats7 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Banner finally went out not holding enough charge to start the car. Bought new one from Tayna and just fitted into the car 1.6 125 roadsport 2013. On initial start up with new battery the engine ran very lumpy, then settled down as it warmed up. Would this be the ecu resetting after car not having battery in for a week? Running perfectly now, as always, no problem ,so not really worried. But curious as to this lumpyness following a battery change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Kent AR Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi Ken,Guess it depends on how many times you tried to start it before giving up on the dud - would have pumped fuel around whilst struggling and if you'd pumped the pedal............................just a few thoughts from my experience.

Kensboats7 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi Garry, good comment. Car now running perfectly again, but old battery completely flat for a week or so and would not hold charge. However, I put a solar trickle charger on the old battery for a few days, which seems to have jolted it's memory! It now charges and holds charge again, so will keep it to use for bits and bobs around the workshop, electroplating etc, and possibly as a spare during the winter. I am told that it is easy to refurbish banners at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
