Estima Hybrid battery problem

Hi all. Got a Hybrid Battery problem with my Estima. I've had it checked and cell 8 is not working. I'm having all sorts of problems getting someone to sort the problem out for me, mostly companies not returning my calls / web enquiries. The car won't start, so I need a mobile company that covers Hertfordshire area, I don't want the expense of getting it transported to a garage, as I feel sure the problem can be rectified on my drive. I want the damaged cell replaced and the other 10 cells reconditioned ideally, it's a 20 year old car, so if it's possible, I don't want to go down the compleat Hybrid Battery replacement option unless it's absolutely necessary. Any mobile Hybrid mechanics out there able to offer any help? Thanks guys!

I've had a company do a diagnostic check on the car, and the report said Battery block 8 was weak, and the following:

P3000 – Battery Control System
C1310 – HV System Malfunction
P3018 – Battery Block 8 Weak
P3006 – Battery Levels Unusually Different

Their advice was to repair / replace battery block 8

No one able to help or advise?

I know absolutely nowt about the hybrid models...but there has been much talk/discussion over the past couple of years about the Estima hybrids and the Battery issues.

Might be worth surfing through the apprpriate forums.?

Thanks Neil, being a right problem this! I'll take a look at previous posts, see if any help there, just cannot find anyone willing to take on the work who offers a mobile service, as the car is a non runner.......

Good luck with that....I think you may well have to swallow the cost of getting the vehicle to wherever it needs to be.
