Many thanks for all the replies. Problem now sorted. I put the new battery on charge, off the car. while that was, on i checked and covered all the heavy cables connections, including earth's. with copper slip grease, left the new battery on charge for a couple of hours, put it the car, greased...

Well i finally bit the bullet and bought the new battery. Mine finally gave up and the starter could barely turn over. Strange thing though...when i tried to start it using a booster battery it still wouldn't turn over properly so i tried to jump start it using my car battery, same thing..Bought...

Do you still have the seats Front and rear? And how much to post to Essex please Steve

Thanks for the info Dave.

Yesss,,,thinking of going for this one..... Numax CXV-X 1000 Amp - Leisure Batteries - Numax Leisure Batteries steve

Yep, tried them too, right size and all that but the biggest CCA is 570A

Dave, only have a 270mm space so a 302mm battery wouldn't fit. I have looked on that site but couldn't find the size with a decent CCA Steve

Thanks Dave. I will definitely be looking to get that spec of battery...just seems to be proving a little difficult to get the size that will fit in the available space. Steve

Well,,Success, i think. Had the battery checked at local garage using electronic equipment and it's showing as a big NO.(no good) Got back and stuck the multimeter on went straight on 0.21 amps left o on and waited for about 1/2 for an hour to make sure everything had closed down went back and...

Thanks for the welcome messages. I thought as much, just thought i would check as i was told this was normal on early discivery's

Thanks for the replies...much appreciated.....will have to get the meter out to test for drain and get battery checked.

Hi all, first post, after my introduction earlier today. This has probably been asked many times, but cant find anything after a search of the previous threads on here. I was told it's normal for the battery to go flat on a 2.5tdi Disco1 (98) if it isn't used for a week or so. and it must be...

Thank you for that welcome. I suppose the 1st question is is it normal for the battery to go flat when not using the car for 4/5 days? Steve
