have read on others thread about a conneciton to the gearbox earth - not yet checked this unsure where this is located - could you provide some help with this.
fault appears randomly will someitmes start first turn.
car is standard - no mods
model is roland garos 2002 multiplex .
looking for some advice on thuis , when the battery died last nyt the alarm went off before.
tryed searchin through threads and cant seem to find a fault like this. all be it the slow loading of the work pc.

Is the new battery OK?
If you are still losing charge on a new battery, the battery is duff or you have a power drain (boot light permanently on, etc?)
