We all want know how..now..
She didn't take her stilleto's off.
No one gets in my car with their shoes on. Slippers and smoking jacket is a must
. On second thoughts I may make an exception for a pair of stilleto'sYou could be right though, the car did belong to a night club owner before me.
A bit of this

Some of the leather dye I posted a few pages back and lot's of youtube videos.

New batteries fitted, two in the fob and a MF31-1000 to the car. Old MF31 will be more than sufficient for the 4.6

Removed the charger and went to start my P38 this morning, it would barely turn over Battery has been getting week for a couple of months, I was hoping with warmer weather it would last through the summer. No such luck.
Just ordered a Hancook MF31-1000 from Batterie Megastore.fr a bit dearer than the UK price at current exchange rates.
I think the alternator may be under performing which could be what has killed the battery.

For the first day in almost three weeks, I did nothing with her. I decided to walk where I was going , as it was only a mile away. So told her I'd see her later and headed off. Got a 1/4 mile down the road and the heavens opened and the gale started.

Aye, a good idea. Managed to get the price down to €109.67, the equivalent of £97.92 including delivery, €22 less than I paid in 2011 so I cannot complain. Exchange rate was better back then though.We had better buy shares in Battery Megastore Kieth.

I payed £114.99 for a 120Ah superbatt 31-1000cca type 663/664 last year, best thing I ever bought for it so you have done well
Now and again the first turnover of the day it struggles like the battery is dead, ignition off try again fires first time
Any ideas what this could be? I'm hoping it's just the starter beggining to dietomcat59alan

£96,70 for mine delivered so you did well Kieth. Have you checked your engine/body earth are clean? Try a jump lead from the battery to the engine/body to see if it makes any difference.

If your alternator setpoint is 13.8V then it'll never charge a calcium battery properly and over time it will fail. You can upgrade the setpoint to 14.5V by changing the gubbins in the top.
Failing that check the RF receiver. If blue or yellow dot then talk to Marty.

Judging from your photo's that is a real understatement, I would be well pleased with that.
Thanks @frog hopper, I am quite pleased but it could have been better had I spent a little more time on it.

So I have wrong type battery for standard 13.8v alternator set point?
Looks like I payed over the odds
but I'm still happy, many were £160!@martyuk ?
Rf receiver is blue dot but completely disconnected. This was killing the battery when I bought the vehicle. I just don't use the fob, which is easy as there are no buttons left on it
Sure the battery has plenty of go in it, will try earths and check wiring on starter. Thanks guys tomcat59alan
