Drove to work no issues
Got a call when he to drive home
Keycode (padlock through car)

Thinking his key has suddenly died....
So the long journey to take the spare key to him to find actually no key works...

Tried a mk2b key antenna (my own which is a known good)
And it still aint seeing both keys....

So issue is deeper than obvious
Ive recovered the car back to his house and dangers of night recovery is there batteries going flat....
So lots of other lights coming on

Plan of attack so far
Hes getting a battery charger on it
Once charged gonna try getting MES talking to it...
A cheapo obd2 aint finding owt

So will soon see
Any other ideas? Known issues with gp's?

Got a diagnosis....

Battery been drained rapidly....
Only way to start the engine was to put ignition on - flick the neg terminal off and back on
And the car could start
However when you turned key off the car remained running / dashboard was dead....

Only way was to pull a relay out

And back to square one.... dead....

Had fusebox pulled out and out comes the water and lots of corrosion :(

Is the left wheel inner plastic arch still in place and complete ?
If not that would explain why water arrived in the fuse box...
