I have jump leads in the car, and am in Bletchley. I'll be leaving here in about 20mins, let me know if you want me to drop by...

Fingers crossed for you  :) not that you'll need it.

I dreaded turning the key on mine when I did mine, was well pleased when it started.

Would depend on how long they were really. they would need to be about 4.5m long!

I think they are 3m :( - and IIRC, your driveway is a bit steep to push 1.7 tons up it...

Take the battery off the donor car and jump start the flat one.

Then re-fit the battery.

I guessing its either:

1. Gone horribly wrong, and Allenm is too busy consoling himself with alcohol
2. Gone well, and he's too busy enjoying his car again

The suspense is killing us....

You forgot 3.

Halfords are still flicking through the book for the correct part number.  ;)

Sorry guys!! update time - or is it flatdate?

Went off to B&Q (closer) and bought one of those recharge station thingies,  got it home, connected it up and the car turned over once before the damn thing gave up. :(

Went off to Halfords and got one of those power socket to power socket jump lead things (the only thing long enough given where my car is-  That was officially rather useless. >:(

Gave up, put the power station thing on charge and hit the beer! [smiley=beer.gif]

This morning,  connected up the booster, car turned over a bit, at one point almost fired, then the rather useles booster thing gave up  >:(

Off to Argos (I love shopping!), bought the biggest battery charger they had, took the other shite back, and the battery is being charged as we speak (or as you read).

I will let you all know how it goes!  (Admins, you may want to make sure the profanity filter is set to max - this could get messy if it still don't work ;))

Cheers
Merv
