    We have an immaculate 2001 for sale or help with repair.
    The car has one owner from new with full service history.
    The owner a friend is 93 so gave up driving so we cannot start the car.
    Fault codes are p3000 and p3030 so suspect it's the battery pack.

    The car is in Swansea Wales so any help or advise.
    The car is worth around £1500 if we can start it as it will fly any MOT.

    Try installing a new starting battery with correct preceedures, to see if it starts. Also check orange HV wiring connector for corrosion. It might start with as little as 200 Sterling .

    If it won't start, it's considered a roller or a parts car. I would go inspect it with a known good, fully charged car battery and a set of jumper cables, I've done this. Or don't and offer 300. The one I bought (and drive daily) was $400, the 12v wouldn't hold a charge and the brake booster pump had failed. (Turned out the Cat was bad, too.) Just remember you are the one assuming all the risk and will pay for any repairs.
