Cheers

was after the things that are battery powered, like a jump start

Halfords sell them, but every so often they have them in Aldi - Got mine there 4 years ago for about 25 quid and it works well.

Something like this? http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=10651&langId=-1&searchTerms=7500084&go.x=15&go.y=13 Not particularly recommending this one - have seen similar in Netto, Lidl, Aldi etc for around £30.

The power stations are just small cheap 12v batteries in plastic cases. I've picked up high capacity used battiers from the motor factors for nout (they throw them away). Charge them with something decent like an optimate and you'll get a good bit of service out of them

You can pick up a battery charger from Wilkinsons for £10. I wouldn't get a jump start thing myself as that battery in there is going to die at some point. Might be better to get yourself a new battery?
