My start/stop battery is seven years old and the bastard still switches off the engine if I forget to press the button. That's means it's at least 85% charged.

I thought it was 2035.

But perhaps the Labour party wants to demonstrate how keen they are so save the world.

2035 is for hybrids, I believe. Not sure if it's just plug-in hybrids but, even if it is, nothing stopping you buying one and just not charging it.....ever.

Charged the Range Rover battery, after being careless..😄

Ah. keep an eye on that, JLR cars are somewhat sensitive to buggered batterys, and letting it go very flat will have damaged it a bit.  Fingers crossed no issues, but always best to be forewarned and prepared

.

Funny enough I checked my service records / receipts and I put this one on just over 5 years ago so I've ordered a new one this morning 👍

my 14 plate ML is still on its original batteries .... 

so this is how annoying it gets .wouldnt power up yesterday in garage.now set it all up for a bench test and it works .whats the difference ? warmer in house maybee
anyway ive opened up an facia and i think the first microorocessor is in there .it has a ST6240/c8 in it so maybee the power button triggers this and then the signal is fed into the main unit from gere .cannot find anything substantial on heatsinks apart from the two audio amps( TDA7375) so i will start googling chip numbers.
this unit is a blaupunkt san diego dj and the other (same base units ) are milano rcr127 and avignon rcm ??

Frack baby frack. Lots of cheap gas then. 
And apparently it could cause Blackpool to disappear into the sea.
Cant see a downside at all. 

Every cloud....

Is there anyone in Blackpool who isn't unemployed, or unemployable.

That reminds me. Mine is still giving trouble.
A week or two ago  swmbo spent ages on the phone with them and they talked her through resetting the router ( I think).
They said the build hadnt been finished at the factory, but they had now completed it remotely. 
It seemed ok for  while, but is now dropping out again on average once per day.
Pita.

Tried to diagnose an intermittent issue on sons 05 Civic.
Every once in a while the temp gauge climb to the top and at the same time very little heat comes from the vents with heater turned up to max.
Im thinking possibly a sticky thermostat ?
