Newby here hello all.
So discovered trans fluid in radiator, sorted that with a front mounted cooler and trans service flush, engine check light, ABS failure, Stability controll failure, Brake failure lights all showing and a beeping like a put your seat belt on alarm as well. Limp mode holds it in 1st gear. Have plugged in a code clearing gadget however the warnings all come back on after as well as loss of all intruments. Would the general consesis point to battery? Its going on 3 yrs old.
Any advice would certainly be appreciated.
Cheers.

The issues all point to the battery condition. Have it load tested at a battery supplier or auto parts store. Years ago I had the same problem. Fitted a high capacity battery (810CCA) and absolutely no problems since. The WM's (more so than the VE's) suck a lot of power due to all the standard accessories fitted.

Bit of an old thread but did you get issues sorted and what battery did you use?
