i had similar problem so changed battery, but problem was till there so checked across terminals and was getting some high readings . turned out it was the aternator. its a possibility. check with meter when enghine running if it goes over 14.4 then you could have same problem

when i first got my car about 2.5 years ago it was very quiet.
but sometime last year got a little rattelly, at first i assumed tappets, but im told they are self adjusting so should not rattle. i asked mechanic and he said that it wasnt a problem, maybe loose rocker box cover. i have had the cover replaced as wrong one installed but still rattly. its no louder than when first started but i would like it quiter any ideas?

have topped up so often probably unfair to call acid, maybe homemade electrical water. theres probably a point where topping up just dosent cut the mustard. funny how this problem hasnt occured before when battery was extremely flat. maybe the voltage or amps go all weird after a certain point and electronics say thats it weve had enough.

tried paperclip test, flashed 10 times, i was expecting 12,
then i got 56 fault code then could not make any sense of whatever else it did. i did watch videoclip looked easy (when i did it it wasnt.)there was another fault code, but i waited for repeat maybe im being dim but that didnt repeat 3 times so do not know what the prob is
what i meant by 12 is 1 then 2 repeated 3 times
