[SIZE=-1]Having major problem with my Raggie, started with having totally flat battery. Bought and fitted brand New Odyssey battery £176.00.
Ran ok for couple of weeks,and one morning when trying to start Raggie message centre went wild with every fault message showing plus beeper sounding until the battery seemed to run out of steam. Conected up to jump start the engine which it did then Alternator Fault shown on info pod. Checked Alternator charging and was not charging battery when running. Bought brand new alternator £111.00 and fitted it, with new belt tensioner ram £25.00. All this seemed to do the trick. But while out driving the Alternater Fault warning came up again on message pod and then dissapaired again as quick as it appaired. Once back home I tested Alternator charging and it was excellent.
Last used the vehicle on Tuesday 19th February 2008,
on the evening of Friday 22nd February, I needed the Raggie again but once it was unlocked there was no sign of interia lights, when key was placed and turned in the ignistion same old problem "All fault messages were shown on info pod and the was no action on the key" I removed the key from the ignistion and the interia started showing some activity but were very dull. I am at the end of my teather with this problem and nobody I speak seems to know what the problem is or what these symtoms point to, and what could be the problem. I only paid £4k for the Raggie in the first place and don't really want to spend over and above what I need to to get it back up and running. Can anybody help me out there? Please!!!

[SIZE=-1]I have heard from from other Raggie drivers that there might be a problem with Radio Wave Interferance with my Raggies own RF signal, that wakes up the Bcem whilst parked up for a couple of days there by leading to a 2amp drain on the battery while the Bcem is awake. I am not a expert on RF signals but it seems that all and any Wireless broadband signals / house alarms / mobile phone masts can have an effect. Is there an expert out there who can confirm this?[/SIZE]
