Ive got one you can have Martin for a tenner.......tho its not new.....you have to start the car everyday and run for hours..to charge it......leave at few days and you'll be knackered.....it wont hold charge for more than a few days.....

Took it off my veccyB about 6 months ago and put a GO battery on it......less than £30 iirc TC price.

Should have bunged it back on the veccyB......buggar too late now....James has seen the GO battery on it now  ;D

If it's been sitting for 6 months and was a bit suspect beforehand I'd wager that it's now completely knackered. I have done this in the past with batteries that wouldn't quite start the car but I thought would "come in handy". Once they've been left for a while they've had it.  :(

Well the remote didn't work, opened the door alarm went off, then tried the ignition no luck - popped open the bonnet then the power sounder joined in.

Jumped off the new battery to open the boot

off on pull off lead then swap over the battery

All OK now
