Rant alert!
So after performing flawlessly throughout the cold (no snow to speak of in Preston) i got in last night to come home from work and it was just cranking over and over and over - nothing!
Tried jump leads on it - nothing just cranking over then making a clicking noise as though the battery was fubar.
Called the breakdown people (due to the large number of calls we are recei....) 2f 30 hours later they rolled up and he couldn't jump start it, tried easy start but with the battery weakened, nothing...
Onto the back of the transporter and back at the depot, he connected up to the words largest battery pack/jump start device - started first time! hurray!
Hal hour journey home and all seems well, he said the battery was holding its charge so should be ok, but at 8 years old it is getting on a bit.
Any ideas for a make of new battery anyone? or just go to Halfrauds?
