Please let them vote yes, if only to get rid of 40 liebore MPs.
The English word for our skirt wearing ginger friends is Scotch, they say Scots.
They must still export us their Scotch tho'
Cleggy, you are one of the few people besides me and the Oxford English Dictionary (final arbiter of our wonderful language) to appreciate that scotch is an acceptable, nay preferred, adjective to describe the people as well as the drink.

"A tear starts, unbidden, to the eye...."
I had my Heinz 57 of a dog for 17 years, in good health until the last, so a good innings. But you are never prepared for it whenever it happens and I'm not ashamed to say I miss her several decades on.
All my sympathy and commiserations.

I may have dreamed this, but I thought I read somewhere that the battery-cosy was just that - to help with temperature extremes?
Regarding battery dating, isn't it for retailers to identify just when they sold it, and start the warranty period?
NOT for our benefit!

Sir Tigger, the warranty point you make is why I bought from Advanced Batteries - online - and keep on promoting them.
They gave a 4 year warranty, mine had a dead cell after 2 1/2 years and they replaced it without demur, courier delivery next day and courier collection the day after, giving me time to swap batteries - and not a penny cost to me!
These days, such service is exemplary and I know it must be boring to read my posts about the same point, but if we don't patronise the good dealers, all we will have left are the crap ones.

Just to promote a firm that gave me a good price, excellent service and prompt, no-quibble warranty replacement after 2 1/2 years of its 4 year warranty - including free courier delivery and collection in all instances....

NO, I do not have shares in the company, nor any interest other than being very satisfied with how they treated me and communicated.

« on: 01 August 2014, 11:54:46 »It really does sound like a dead cell to me, with only 5 out of the 6 cells holding charge - hence the c.10 volts reading.

If it were just the Omega I would tend to agree with you, Bigron.
But the battery on the Corsa also?.....
Ugh, sorry - I missed that comment from early. I stand corrected.

Advanced Batteries did me proud, as reported by me a few months ago - no quibble replacement after 2 1/2 years (as it had a 4 year warranty), including courier delivery and collection of the old battery, which had a dead cell.
That could be your problem, OP, if it won't reach 12.5 volts after being charged.
