    Thank you. Other people told me this, so I have already bought a new battery, as I said above.

    And it works! - Woohoo!

    thanks everyone


    A good result, but you mentioned buying voltage tester earlier, I would use this and just make sure the alternator is actually charging the battery (as in my previous post), a simple 2 minute job could save you having to buy yet another battery.

  • Hello.

    Did you get any good use out the Phaze 4-in-1 jump starter?

    I have a battery draining problem and I suppose the AA have a similar thing to these units which always starts it up. I could do with simply doing that myself.

    Did you have to connect the negative to the engine block, rather than the negative terminal on the battery itself?

    Thanks
