thanks guys, can i ask
IF i have to leave my car for about 7 - 14 days, apart from taking the battery terminals off, is there ANY other way you can leave the car without draining the battery?
how about clicking the key fob once, what does that do apart from just locking the car? i know if you press it twice it does something else?
not quite sure what though?
if i can just lock the car and not have the alarm on, thats no big deal because my car is placed behind 3 cars on the drive anyway
My Omega is not being used at present. As it is in a secure garden, behind another car, I tend to leave it unlocked so that the alarm is not on.
The second press of the key activates the deadlocks on the doors, boot and fuel cap. This means that even if a window is smashed, the lock leaver cannot be raised.
I agree whole heartedly with what others have said about your battery issue. Trickle charge your existing one first and, if all is well then great. If not, don't mess about with other batteries, get a GM go one. I use them on both my Vauxhalls and also on me transit vans. They are excellent units and have the added benefit of looking good in the engine bay.
