My carefully looked after Varta E44 battery, bought just 4 years ago, has expired and as it had a 5 year guarantee, I contacted the seller to ask about a claim.

Only way was to return it and let them check it and do without the car whilst they made up their minds, or buy a new one from them then return the failed one after - hopefully for a refund or partial refund. Fine so far, until your new battery turns up and you try to arrange to send the failed one back.

It's Tanya in Abergele, north Wales.

When you try to arrange to send a battery via the usual parcel services, car batteries come under the 'Prohibited Items' list.

Long shot- Is anyone going from anywhere near Garforth, to Abergele, over the coming weeks and could drop it off there please?

I have it all safely packaged and ready to go.
