Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 24, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 So after starting 1st every time since I got her I went to drop her over to Rick today to put into storage and battery completely dead 0.7volts. She was fine last week and I have left her for 2 weeks before no problem. So she is on CTEK and we will see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Eds 289 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Make sure the boot light is not staying on when the boot is shut. Also the 2 courtesy lights on the rear view mirror can stay on if the headlight switch is not pushed right in . 1 Quote Dave. Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Good call, thanks for that, I think the battery is buggered though I will keep charging it though and live in hope. I reckon you right I cleaned it last weekend and I bet I have switched something on and not noticed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Trevor it’s definitely won’t be that as I take the front off not for security but because I don’t know how to turn it off and I can’t see the buttons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM johnpwalsh 1,377 Posted June 24, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 All of the above used to kill the batteries on both our M100's. The alarm did it after 2 weeks and the display on the rear view mirror could knock it out in one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTK 684 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Dan she's a gonner, it's tough I know but to speed your journey through the five stages of loss I'll pop over and haul her away. That's how much I care. Don't go checking for things left on, your only making it worse. what's this talk of storage? Summer's only in! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yes fair point George, it’s going for storage awaiting Sparky to finish Christine then he is going to go through it then she will be out for the rest of summer 👍 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,390 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Cracking colour Dan, you don't see many in pearlescent really suits the M100. May not be working but stiĺl makes a fantastic item to look at lol. Tell Sparky to pull his finger out ! Quote A Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Dan apparently the only one left in that colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,390 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 That may be why I have not seen one before then lol. Not only great colour but also a rare beast then ! Quote A Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Dan E 1,593 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Now I don’t know this as a fact but apparently 2no built and the other one written off. It does look spectacular in the sun, at the moment it is drive artwork. Friday is new battery and a multimeter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
