Went to start her up this afternoon, very slow turnover, no chance. Got my mate with his booster and got it started. Down to kwik fit for a new battery. Fitter tells me the battery is OKish, he thinks the alternators had it as its only putting out 12v and should be 14-14.5. tells me to go home, put it on charge and then get alternator sorted tomorrow.
When I got home I couldn't be ar*ed to take the battery off so extension lead and charger out to the car and on charge. 10 mins later....it starts piss**g it down! So, out to the car again, shove the charger and lead in with the engine and rest the bonnet on a bit of wood to keep the rain off.
Thats where I'm up tp now, its in the dark and wet cooking nicely. (hope it doesn't catch fire, honest) GRRRR!
