Driving last night, I stopped at a shop and when I got back in the starter just groaned like a flat battery.

No, there was no advance notice of a fault beforehand at all.

Going on some other threads that I've read on the d3 forum it sounds like the alternator? Id get that and the battery tested to rule them out. Tesla model 3 long range

There was no smell off mine, the car just cut out. Everything went dead, no lights, no advanced warning nothing. It was the alternator and it took a new battery out with it. We put a jump starter on it to get it running and drive it onto the recovery truck, and it completely flattened that in 3 minutes. |

Ordered one, so we'll see. I expect that'll fix it. Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car.

So the alternator seems to have fixed it, but I have a question.

Try a hard reset first to see if that cures it |

Did a hard reset this morning and it was a little better, but on driving I decided that the turbo wasnt kicking in.

I hate service garages that don't check your car is all working after repairs.
