New Battery ?
MY04 WRX, Tracker fitted from new
Went to start the car this morning and nothing, wouldn't turn over. Used the car yesterday as normal (no previous problems). Subura Assistance sent out a technician who confirmed the battery was flat and jump started the car, he followed me home (dipped headlights on) where he check the battery again and it was re charged, he checked if anything was draining the battery but couldn't find anything, he said the battery is OK.
Anyone else had this problem.
Can a battery just loose its charge like this and then when re charged look OK.
Is it worth changing the battery just to eliminate it.

Common problem failing batteries. Either try to get dealer to change it under warranty or replace it yourself. I did that on my WRX03 with a Bosch 6DA from Costco, not had a problem since.
