    the battery won,t charge up, i would need to buy a new one and car is on driveway and there is no room to get it on..
    with your back to the car pull up on the wheel arch and while still holding the arch let the car back down, at the same time push your back on the car. keep doing this to build up momentum it is if you have help pushing.

    Get a 2 pence coin or flat head screw driver and remove the top plastic screw tops and top up with distilled water then replace tops and charge the battery.
    If you dont want to buy water just boil the kettle and allow to cool completely and that is the same thing.
    superscrimpers??? would you really trust a guy that butchers perfectly good cars into some Frankenstein child reject?

    for a scrap battery that's fine for a good battery it will cost you more in electricity to collect enough condensate to top up a battery.
