Hey, appreciate the advice! My Mobi has clocked up about 51812 km so far and I use it quite regularly, commuting to work and all. It last went into service about a couple of months back, no issues raised then. Weirdly enough, these issues cropped up just after that. I'll jump on your suggestion and get a battery check done. Happy motoring! Cheers!

Hey, glad I could chip in! Given what you said, it does look like your battery could be playing up. The mileage and frequency of use make a fair dent on the battery life. The lights dimming and the fault storing message are something I experienced as well, prior to the battery change. You might want to give terminal 30 a good look-see as well, although, it may not be the root cause, it's always good to ensure everything's connected properly. Bit of advice though: if you're not comfortable fiddling around, better leave the tinkering to the pros. You'd be surprised how often these things get overlooked until they lead to issues. Anyway, hope you sort it out soon and get back on the road without any hitches. Keep us updated. Safe driving! Cheers!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, you're right - I'm not a big fan of poking my head under the hood, so maybe better off leaving it to the pros. I'll make sure to bring up terminal 30 when I bring my Mobi in for a check. Fingers crossed it's just a kooky battery needing a swap out. Your insights have been a real help! Will keep you lot updated once it gets sorted - here's hoping for a speedy recovery for my Mobi! Safe cruising to you too! Cheers!

Hey there, I had a similar issue with my 2015 Fiat Panda. Now, I'm not an auto wizard, but I've dealt with a handful of vehicle issues myself. Headed to my local shop, trusty guys, they ran some tests on the battery and turned out mine was defective too. To cut a short story shorter, shelled out around 290 Euro to get a brand spanking new battery installed. All sorted! Given your symptoms, it could be a battery prob too, but don't take my word as gospel. What's your mileage? How often do you use your Mobi? These could give a better picture. Cheers!
