I got a new one (my old one went down the same route as yours) from here back in April

A lot of the leisure battery failure are due to failing to look after them, over charging and /or not charging them at all.


Mine, in my drive, goes on charge once per month, for one day. I have wrecked batteries before, boiled dry, having them on permanent trickle charge. They just need to be topped up reasonably regularly.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
