My wife took our Marea out last night and it would not start to drive home. The battery then went flat. She called the AA who checked the battery and said it was charged (ie 12v) but knackered (dropped to 0v on starting).
He then changed the battery but the car still would not start. Does the car need the red masterkey to restart the engine after disconnecting the battery? - the AA man said not but I have read on a forum that you do and I unfortunately do not have one.
Anyone know if this is the case as I would have thought the AA should check a red key is accessable before disconnecting the battery.
Thanks in advance.
