Morning all

Just bought a 325 convertible 2 days ago and came to take kids to school this morning and she just won't start, my other half was messing with his Bluetooth phone last night connecting it but he says that's all he did. All the lights on dash do as normal until you turn the key again and there is just nothing! What's happened? It's like it's been immobilised. Help I'm now stuck in the house!!

    If he didn't do anything else it can only be the battery that's duff. Sounds like it hasn't got enough power to turn the engine over.

    Checked battery and starter motor, have a guy coming today to sort new key out as it looks like it's decided to forget the code or not recognise it and shut the car down

    Weird. Hopefully not too costly to remedy.

    Dude came out today cost me £100 and still won't start. Another person reckons the Bluetooth connection has blown a fuse. He said the phones too powerful and I did try to connect two at once because it said the connection was unsuccessful

    change the battery in your key and try again, easy enough to do, £4 for the battery from a store. had same issue with mine a while back, changed the battery in teh key, re-programmed it to the locks and it sorted it. nice cheap fix if it works, if not, £60 for a new car battery
