Thanks for the quick reply! When you say 'similar experience', did you get the same error message, and rough starting symptom? And if so, did you ever figure out exactly what was causing the issue? I'd love to narrow down my search.

Yes, precisely the same error message and the sluggish start! I spent ages wrestling with it, checking every wire and connection I could find. Ultimately, after a fair bit of frustration, I decided to take it to a workshop. They identified it as a fault within the electrical system. Might be the best course of action for you too!

Okay, thanks a lot for confirming! It sounds like I'm chasing a similar gremlin. I appreciate you sharing your experience; sounds like it might be time to bite the bullet and head to the shop. I'll let you know what happens. It was the battery, turns out it was heavily discharged and defective! Got it replaced for 290€ and the problem seems to be solved.

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had a similar experience with my Caravan. That 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted' error drove me nuts! Mine also struggled to start. Did you check for any signs of a short circuit? Also, is your charging system functioning properly? It could be a faulty ignition switch or even something with the starter motor.
