Hi,

Its happened to me before when my battery was on the way out or getting low. Sometimes still get it if the vehicles being sitting for weeks in the cold without moving (during illness), even with a new battery in it.

Cosmic do you have a multi meter,because if it's a battery problem I would check the battery voltage before starting it up & once it's running to check the charge rate

i got a mac one for sale on flebay if u need one lol

my 2001 terrano does the same, im convinced its the battery cos it only reads 50% charge (12.5 volts) after a full charge and stood for 24 hrs disconnected.Battery is 5 1/2 yeas old so will need replacing soon. after a long journey and next day it wont do it but let terrano stand for 5 days and that buzzing noise returns untill it starts.

It's on;y done it the once,i thought it may have something to do with the cold!! i'll see if she does it 2morrow,and will get it checked out. may need a new battery for winter coming,don't know how old the battery is! :? :

It was realy cold last night down here Cosmic & I think it would have been a bit colder at yours :roll: So perhaps the cold is starting to effect your battery

I'm sure this winter is going to kill mine off :roll:

I don't think this beep is connected to the glow plugs; on my wagon the glow plug ligth stays on after the beep has stopped - usually after only a second or so. I have a feeling this beep is related to the NATS system, and occasionaly I get a similar situation, beep continues for longer, engine turns over but is slow to start. I've always taken this to be an intermittent situation that means the immobiliser hasn't been inactivated.

Hi all,nope ,that's two mornings on the trot,mind it's not been as cold as the other day..will be interesting to see if it does it again when the cold mornings come back!! :?

Mine did this today, didn't catch first time, beeped a second time while the key was in the ign before turning off, 2nd go with glow plugs and no problems starting up 2nd time around. Probably the coldest start my wagin has had this year.

Well it did it again this morning,always the first time i start it when it's-0 or colder,i wonder if this is some sort of ice warning.
The car started fine!
