Dear Ant
I bought my 2004/5 Hylo last year. After an active summer going hither and thither it now keeps refusing to start. I'm not sure it's just a battery problem: one day I drove it 15 miles, parked and cut the engine. Then I decided I'd better edge forwards slightly in my parking space but when I turned the key the battery was dead as a dodo. I made several attempts, then gave up and went to my meeting. When I came out two hours later the van started perfectly. Now, however, the van has refused to budge for the last fortnight.
The dealer I bought it from (not Romahome specialists) say they think it's an inherent problem with the alarm draining the battery. The local car garage say I need a new battery.
Have you ever come across anything like this? Is there a good garage you could recommend in West Yorkshire? Any advice would be VERY much appreciated.
Best wishes
