Steering locking on start-up.

[Hugh R]

Looking through this thread and others it seems only one of us (BestwoodRoadie) has had to replace the 12 V battery. IF this is CORRECT, then maybe the car is happy with what it has and we are making too much of a fuss of it?!

I wonder if anyone knows the precise amount of juice the 12v battery needs simply at start-up to get the computer going before the engine kicks in?

All 12v car systems after pushing power switch twice without brake pedal pressed eat’s 8 amps from 12v battery.
