houseofgore Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi All, In a slight panic and hoping one of you guys might be able to help. Had my Impreza WRX (2009 Hatchback) less than a week and only joined up yesterday. Today I was sat in it reading the manual and learning how the sat nav/audio screen works. I decided to start the engine and it wouldn't, just got a clicking and dash lights flashing. Tried again and the screen started flashing up 'check' in big letters. I'm guessing it might be something to do with the immobiliser, tried rearming and disarming, both keys, but no luck. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sandals Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Possibly flat Battery? My civics old Battery died a couple of times and had the same symptoms... wouldn't turn over but would make a clicking noise and the dash kind of flickered.

houseofgore Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Ok, next question, I'm going to Halfords shortly to buy a new Battery and I know the premium membership I bought yesterday gives me 15% off but I haven't had my welcome pack through yet. How does the discount work, is it a code, or do I just need to show them proof of membership? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houseofgore Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks for the reply, looks like I'll have to leave the discount this time, never known a Battery go quite so flat so quickly, so rather get it changed straight away.

Mr B Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^ I would pick up a Banner or Yausa brand from local motor factor as good batts, their stock cycle good so Battery fresh & well cared for & warranty is good & easy, Only 2 brands I use as got fed up with other makes & too common short life span.
