Finally got around to changing spark plugs today - definitely needed seeing the electrode wear !!

While I was under the bonnet, I thought I should check the battery because I've been getting random "Gearbox Overheat" messages when starting from cold !! Battery has been in since I bought it in Dec 2013. It now measures 80% on my CCA tester. There's an Exide EG1101 in there at moment.

Battery Megastore, Hankook MF31-1000, it's the biggest that will fit, good price, fast delivery. NO affiliation.

Have you never heard of maintenance?
 
yes, just not had time to change them for a while. I only do 2k-3k per year, and simply hadn't got round to it due to work travel !!
