While GWM may be known for their rugged, dependable and affordable workhorse offerings, you've chosen the Steed 6 to be your companion. It may not be running through quarries and work sites, but you still need it to perform reliably, especially when your children are involved.
If your Steed 6 has been sitting for a while, as many of our cars have been this year, the battery may not be performing quite as it should. If your model is also getting on in years, this idle time may have been the final death knell for the electrical system. Order may very well be restored with a simple battery change.
