Renault Laguna Estate Mk1 1997 2litre. Had it for about 10yrs. Still 83000 kms on clock. Fanastic car. Husband formally a car mechanic now disabled with dementia !
Problem now – Bought new battery because the other one although only two years old appeared to be failing. However the new battery was Ok for about a week but now I need to jump it from the other charged up battery every time it want to use car. Now I have to take the charged battery on journey to jump it after every stop because it won’t start again.
I have made sure that I have turned everything electrical off before turning off the ignition and leaving the car. I have realised that when I start the car (by jumping as said) the in-car heater is on – I know for sure I turned it off and left it off during the last journey. Also the red security light which flashes when the ignition is off, remains on but doesn’t flash during journeys.
There is work to be done on the car since the indicators packed up before this problem and also the ABS light is on but has been on for a couple of months now.
However can anyone help diagnose my current the problem, please.
