How many days do you leave her car without being used? How old is the battery?Wifey has been baking like mad. Just had a sossidge roll and have seen the scones she'd done.
I'll be cooking the roast later, pork!
Wifey's car wouldn't fecking start, again. It's always OK when it is run regularly but summat is taking more ampy things than it should. Maybe it's her DAT radio, (Is that the term) so volts down to 11.9 when i put in on charge. so drove her to the jab station in my slippers, oh and a few clothes too.
God my Disco is wet inside.
fink I might have to get a cover for it!
Cheers!
Yep, like cars, when they run they're fine, but when they don't you want to reach for a box of matches and open the petrol tank!

Eye will sleep betterer at nite nowThanks for your help and advice mate, Harsh (from Norton) fixed me up, eventually!
Me too, I was getting a bit concerned for @Stanleysteamer
Not exactly sure how long I left it but it must be less than a fortnight, although it didn't go that far, and the batt is about 6 years old. We are thinking about swapping it out.

Probably and the auxiliary battery too. They are on isolators but these things don't hold a charge forever!

Three months I think in ambient weather - which we haven't had for a week or so.
I should go and check as I need to get her road worthy before the end of March!

Halfrauds will do a battery check free of charge, (no punnys here pal), and do a drop-test, but I don't know if they charge for that.

The RRs' lasted 9 Years, cannot complain at that. Was impressed considering how folks say they eat batteries.
Only replaced because the FBH would not run in the morning and it was chilly.
Cheers
