Hi my titanium x has been driven once in the last year and as a result the battery has completely died. Took it out and charged it, put it back in and drove no problems. It then sat for another couple of months and the battery died again, took it out charged it put it back in and everything came on but car wouldn't start, sounded like the battery didn't have enough power so charged it again put it back in and now nothing is coming on at all. Also, it isn't locking although the key has a brand new battery.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

    Sounds like you might need a new battery in the car.

    Might be worth getting it tested as any car is going to struggle to maintain its battery if not used, especially if the car is 6 years old and on its original battery.

    +1 on Alex comment, definately will need a new battery. If you store the car long term without use, the best thing you can invest in is a solar trickle charger, just to keep it topped up, and you should also look to start the car once every 4-6 weeks.
