non start

[panelbeater]

well my blue t2 has been parked for 3 weeks while i was away using my green t2.
i wanted to use the blue one to collect my wvo as boot is empty,but i got in and tried to start it but battery was low and turned over but slow,old battery from pj as brother gave me it for caravan when he put 2 new ones on.
i used the green one to collect wvo.
i have a new spare t2 95ah battery in garden i use for pumping wvo about so put that on trickle charge over night.
i wanted to get some derv/rug mix i use and swapped the blue t2s battery over to the charged one.
it would turn over fast but not start.
twice i gave it a good turn but no.
i got out locked it up unlocked it got in and it started as it does,before full turn over.
i held the gears a git as i noticed black smoke at higher rpm.went to garage got mix then home no more smoke.
i can only think it was the immobiliser got confused.
all ok now.

Think you are right, battery going flat over a period can do all sorts to the system, and as you found locking and unlocking with the correct key/blip sorts it out, Rick

There have been quite a few posts on here, where after a low/flat battery the T2's won't start again, and then various ways of resolving it, all of which seem to work for the person who posted it, but seem to not be reproducible.

Here was my one... luckily I have not had a flat battery since, so have not needed to re-try it.
