My 2009 dispatch new shape 2.0 litre diesel has just started showing a fault after having to change the battery.
Battery died on Monday when starting van it just went. it took a bit longer than normal to start the last few weeks.
Replaced with new battery after the other one lasted only 14 months from new. Under 3 year waranty it was replaced. When started up great, then it started to cut out a few times, when driving, got ok driving , it then showed there was a fault with warning coming on dash board, now last couple of days it has lost power when driving as if the engine stops but starts straight up a split second, then a spanner shows up on dash then disapears untill it happens again.
Took it to be checked today, put his hand held engine tester in but it showed no fault. He says bring it back in on Monday to see if the bigger machine can show any engine faults anywhere. mentioned the alternater may have a fault especially with the new battery only lasting 14 months
has anyone had anything similar happen, what was the remedy
