Special programmes off when cold
I'd forgotten about this little foible from last year until starting the car this morning with the temp. below zero.
When starting in the cold - typically below +4 degrees - I get a bong and 'Special Programmes Off' message. Most of the time, it clears straight away but occasionally I have to re-start it to clear.
The car starts on the button and there are no other apparent issues. Any ideas, folks?Darren

Yup - low voltage is the cause, stick battery on charge and all will be sorted.
Must do mine - no FBH this morning either due to low voltage

As the battery appears to be the original, I decided to bite the bullet and fit a new one - an Exide Premium from Tayna, which seems to be the forum favourite. Bizarrely though, it's around 10 degrees here at the moment, so I may have to wait a while to see if it's cured the problem Darren
