Came out of work today press the button to open the car and it never worked so thought the battery in the alarm was dead...Open the car with the key bUt the alarm didn't go off and the car wouldn't start.....No lights working...infact none of the electrical bits working...in fact not a thing working......Turned the key and there wasn't that click you get if the battery is flat...Just nothing.........Got some jump leads on her but again nothing...........

Any ideas...?.....could it be a fecked battery........?

sorry forgot to add , if no click from anything even when dead maybe a break switch been put in by previous owner, could trace the battery leads

A mate got the AA out to have a look......They got the battery charge but its only holding half charge....Nothing is draining it apparently so battery *******.......The last owner put it on and its not that old.......

The 3200 has the same locking system and they do the same too. The immobiliser is solid state and has no batteries, it's just a pickup ring round the ignition barrel.

They all run the META system.
