I had my car in the body shop last week and since picking it up on sat if i leave it for about 1 hour or more it just about turns over but does then start. I have not given a long run yet only 15 mins could this help? Also dont know if its connected when i unlocked it twice on sunday i heard what sounded like a motor running in the boot( i think its from the central locking unit on the right ) but this stops when the immomilses kicks in after a min if the key is not turned in the ignition? Battery is only a year old and did nothing like this before it went to the body shop. Any ideas :^)
