Hi, after my previous post on starting problems i have now got into more trouble. this morning (-10 again) the DHSE would not start. after trying the diesel warmers a few times, the battery was soon flat. during the cranking cycles various messages appeared - start engine, traction failed, etc.
i think now is time to buy a new battery because it didn't really give me many attempts to start before going flat.
anyway my question is: what type/size of battery should i go for? is it worth paying more for a heavy duty type to get more cranking power.
also, i know the EKA code and radio codes but is there any precautions to be made when changing batteries?
Also, i have a set of brand new glow plugs. is it worth while changing these too - will this help with the starting?
thanks
Will
