Flat battery.
« on: 05 May 2022, 20:43:12 »

Woke up to a flat battery this morning. I have charged it up for now and hope the battery is not terminally f*ucked.

I have also noticed the petrol gauge has stopped working......any connection?

If there was a connection it would probably work. More like no connection  :)

I'm very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable member of the forum reply to my post. I could have been lumbered with a reply from a member who knows sweet f*uck all about motor cars. :)

Just had to replace the leisure battery on our caravan, got 10 years out of it though the motor mover was struggling so seemed obvious that the battery was kaput.

So.....the question on everyone's lips is......did it hold a charge or did the poor old lad have to fork out for a new one?
A new battery on top of the cost of living crisis......it doesn't bear thinking about  ::)

I think we can assume that it held a charge, otherwise he'd have been on asking for the cheapest place to buy a battery.  ::)

Of course we'd have recommended Halfords!  >:D
