haha no worries, I have the guides paged bookmarked. I always forget where stuff is otherwise.

 

[gtikezz]

ahhh good thinking, why do i never think about things like that, i just thought it would be better to buy a spare one to mess with rather than mess my own up

 

[gtikezz]

also what make of battery is good ? ( if any difference ) as twice today my car has died

 

[old 'uns]

cheapest, probably all made in China or Brazil anyway.

 

[gtikezz]

so no difference then ?

 

[gtikezz]

as you are local do u recomend anywhere mate ?

 

[Fl@pper]

as a seller in the past I always found Bosch + Numax both good all round and reliable although if left long periods both would drain flat but nothing a good charge wouldnt fix

avoid Fiamm + Lucas as we had nothing but aggro on both

 

[gtikezz]

ahh ok nice one i will see what i can get , do u think it would be a good idea to get one of those battery checks first ?
also what is a good price ?

 

[old 'uns]

Karparts in Aldridge nr Focus or thingymybobs ( name escaped me! ) bottom of Shire Oak, hang a right at Muckley Corner from yours

 

[gtikezz]

ahh yea i have been there a few times they have always been cheaper than anywhere else and if there not they always come down a bit

 

[old 'uns]

google to the rescue! Mid West Motor factors

 

[gtikezz]

ahhh dont think i have been there i will try both of them tmoz and see what they come back with, i need to get it sorted asap

 

[old 'uns]

Euro car parts cheapest £48, Bosch 56amp £53

[gtikezz]

thanks for that mate , i will ring the other 2 in the morning see what they come back with then go from there

just get a multimeter on your battery see if its putting out 12v? And see if it drops down bad when your starting it. If you have let it run really flat it might be damaged, then you'll need a new one. Might not be charging properly if its going flat quick? What you been doing to flatten it?

 

[gtikezz]

yea it has run flat a few times due to me not remembering to start her up when i have been cleaning her while i had the music on,

oh, seems like a weak battery? I do that alot lol. I've left my interior light on all night (on more than one occasion) and come back in the morning and it starts no problem
