Im not sure what the problem is but i get a slight dimming of lights when i turn anything on ,also when i pull off from stopped i get a quick flicker of the lights. If i increase the revs slightly it doesnt happen. Getting no warning lamps inside. Car seems to start ok first time every time (always has)although it seems to turn a bit slower (well it has been a bit nippy of late)
Just lately my central locking on the driver door is intermittent so i have to use the key to get in. Its a 2002 car and i cant find anything in the history about a replacement so i assume its the original from new.
Any advice?

mine doing that putting it down to cold battery, as cover needs replacing on battery. :y

Sounds like the battery could do with a little boost. If you have a charger it would be a good idea to give it an overnight charge.

Thanks guys i do have a battery charger somewhere in the frozen wasteland (the garage) i,ll dig it out.
Thanks again :y

If you do decide to get a new battery go for the diesel battery for a 2.5TD, gives a better cranking especially in cold weather. I use a diesel battery in my 3.0ltr v6 and works perfectly I have no problems in this cold weather and I only drive 4 miles a day!!

I could not fit a 2.5td battery into a 3.0 v6 it was to big,so please check size before any purchase :y

Correct, a proper 2.5 td Battery, is too big to fit for any petrol engine, been there, tried to do that.
