i bought a boxster 3.2s manual 2002 with FPDS with only 32,000 mls in Aug 2010. Had an service 6 months ago at Porsche ast London, i use the car not every weekend maybe one weekend a month on average. I have a battery conditioner plugged into the cigarette holder when its parked in my garage.
I live on the outskirts of south east London and this weekend i visited my son in Canterbury and stayed overnight.
I left my house on Saturday morning and noticed a couple of times that the battery light flickered on on revs between 1500 and 2000rpM. I thought it was strange but once on the motor way it seemed to clear. I left Canterbury on Sunday evening all was fine very heavy traffic on the motorway but temperature gauge was showing normal. Arrived on on the drive left the car ticking over a few minutes whilst i unloaded the car prior to putting the car in the garage. Closedf the roof and switched off the car as a neighbour called me over to have a chat. On returning to start the car i noticed some water patches on the drive and on turning the ignition on i noticed the trip milometer had reset to zero and the clock and reset to midday. Car wouldn't turn over all i kept hearing was a clicking as i tried to turn the car over. The water i lost was about a cupful, i eventually pushed the car in the garage and plugged the conditioner in. When i bought the car last year the chap i bought it from had a battery fitted by Porsche of Chiswick. Any idea's please?
Regards,
Martin
