Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't had the battery specifically checked, just visually inspected it. No other weird electrical stuff, just the weak start and dodgy lights. Could a faulty battery sensor really cause all this?

Yeah, a bad battery sensor can definitely mess things up. It can cause low voltage issues, which would explain the weak starts and flickering lights. I ended up taking mine to a workshop, and they confirmed it was the sensor. Best to get it properly diagnosed.

Okay, thanks a bunch! I'll book it in for diagnostics and tell them to check the battery sensor. I saw some prices online, and it looks like I'll be set back around 315€. Hopefully, that fixes it. Cheers!

I had something similar happen with my Hiace. Weak starts and the lights acting funky. Have you had your battery checked recently? Have you noticed any other electrical weirdness?
