Anyone know if there's a 'kill switch' or similar fitted to the Plus 4 CX? Just came back from a 20 mile drive - car running perfectly. Stopped the car at my garage to open the door and the car will now not start. Everything - lights, wipers, dash, start button all dead asx a Dodo. There is no electrical power flowing in the car at all. Checked the battery and other visible wiring connects - all tight and clean, as it should be on a 4,000 mile car.

Any ideas or similar experience out there?

Regards.. Chas

Today I removed the old battery. I dont know why they are AGM units as we dont have start stop but I will replace it with an equivalent AGM unit.
Dead simple to do vs a trad where the battery is in the rear. Earth off first and ensuring it can't touch the body then following up with the live.

I gave the battery box a wipe with AFC50 and checked the drain hole was clear

You can also see the heater box plumbing now the battery is out of the way.
The new unit arrives Tuesday.
