Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't checked the alternator yet. Was your issue exactly the same with the weak starts and flickering lights? Did it eventually leave you stranded?

Yeah, pretty much the same symptoms. It didn't leave me stranded, but it got pretty close a couple of times. I'd say get it checked out at a workshop asap just in case. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! It helped a lot. I took it to the workshop and you were right, it was indeed a defective battery that was causing all the problems. New battery and now it runs like a charm. Cost me around 290€, but definitely worth it!

Hey, I had a similar issue with my Adam. Intermittent electrical problems are a pain! Have you had the alternator checked? In my case, it was struggling to keep the battery properly charged. Could also be a parasitic drain somewhere.
