      Hey phil you know it probs recharged it self after the car started? I imagine it builds up enough charge in a short amount of time enough power for a one time start, then as it was connected began recharging after car starting. Who knows, great piece of kit really

      @@SeriousAboutSalvage keyless go is great it's just the keyless entry that is the problem. Manufacturers have now fixed this issue by getting the key fob to go into sleep mode and not transmit after being inactive for 15 seconds. Should have done this from the start

    Great choice of cars lately. Keep it up. Only down side to your promo of the booster pack is that you never pressed the start button to show us the car was dead. Neither did you pull on the boot when you said that wouldn’t open. Would of been nice to see that as reassurance that it really is completely dead. However if it is that dead then that jump back Is most deffo worth the money. Didn’t even struggle and it stayed on after running for few minutes.
