Hi all,
almost convinced it's my battery. It looks like the original one!
I only use my landy at the weekends, but often when starting, i'll just get the ticking. If I take it for a long drive, it will start fine again afterwards, but after a short one, it won't. If I don't move it, it might only start once or twice.
Does this sound like a duff battery to you? It was only recently serviced, and the porblem wasn't that bad then. Since then however, I've had to jump it several times which the battery probably didn't like and it has got worse.
When connected to the jump box I have, the car starts straight away, so I'm sure it's nothing else.
But just in case - have I missed anything, before I go and buy a new one?
Also - is there a particular type of battery which is favoured amongst disco owners? I was thinking of popping down to Halfords tomorrow morning to get one.
cheers.
