Battery suspect
Two breakdowns inside 2 weeks now. Fortunately the 2nd is outside home.
The first time I was just getting the clicks and the battery was fully charged, then she fires first time. It's been started a few times inside 2 weeks, but the car has been stood for a week while we were away on holiday. 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 recently fitted a Varta battery (which is Bosch) to Ed which came with a 5 year warranty from eBay!
I ended up fitting a diesel spec battery, which spins over his V6 a treat! |

Just getting clicks with a fully charged battery has the makings of solenoid contacts in the starter motor! |
