It’s just a smart charger, that charges /reconditions modern batteries, including AGM. You don’t necessarily need to have one.D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay.

I never bothered the wee round window was showing green so bunged it straight on and so far no more annoying start up messages

most days I had "special programmes not available"
I used to get a lot of different ones and then checked all the sunroof drains as I had loads of water in the footwells, unblocked the 4 drains and since then only had the above message, so hopefully the new battery will sort that out
