Might be barking up the wrong tree , however noticed recently car not starting the same. Especially when cold or short stop start journeys. Secondly the rear boot hatch has start sticking not opening ( quite new issue ) . Lastly this morning I had a battery warning light on the dash which did not go away even once started. Switch off and on and it cleared . By all accounts I’d say this is my battery telling me it f...ed.  . Any recommendations ?

Could be a dodgy engine to chassis earth strap, try putting a jump lead from the engine lifting point to the body and see if that helps. Gone 2016 Landmark D4

Will hAve a look round. Battery is reading 12.4v and 14.5 charging engine running. It’s 9yr old so expecting it to be failing I suppose.

You have done well- cut your losses & fit a new battery without delay.

Had a look on the Tanya website . Non stop start for £74 plus delivery ? Seems a good price in fact well cheaper than anywhere else . Shall measure up first though .
