Hi guys. Happy new year to you all.
I posted a thread before Christmas regarding my r171 / K200 not starting after a new battery was fit. I had one reply thank you but still no joy.
To bring you up to speed. I wrapped my car up for winter and after 4 wks decided to start it but found the battery was flat! I replaced this with a new fully charged one. I went to start it and reluctantly it started but not like it used to IE turn let go and it starts, I had to hold key over. I thought ok so I recalibrate the windows and all ok. After a short while I tried to start the car again but nothing, all dash lights ok but on second turn of key nothing but the lights on the dash stayed on then the cooling fan kicked in going to high speed? I was advised to disconnect the battery for a while then reconnect and allow the system to wake up before starting but this didn't work, still the fan comes on?
Can any one help as I can't get the car to a garage.
Regards. Ewrvt
