If it is the battery I'll just go buy another. This is only my second battery since I bought the car new in 2002. First battery lasted 7 or 8 year. This one 5 or 6 years.
What is the best battery for our cars?

I currently am running a "lion" battery which I acquired from eBay for about £55 with postage, it been in there nine months now and have had no problems with it, even though I am using extra amps and a inverter. I have bought Bosch batteries in the past and they are excellent. But the Bosch ones are twice the price of what I paid last. It is completely up to you, as if you spend more it may last longer (but I have a five year guarantee and five years is good for a car battery)
