my car hasn't moved since the weekend. I'd best go and start it up next time baby is asleep. I want to use it to go to the out-laws this weekend. it has been sunny and bright here all week though, none of those minus temperatures here yet.

AA fella seems to think the battery might be jiggered, it started okay with his jump starter pack, best get it checked out tomorrow when I'm in town....gonna be an "ouch" I reckon

 

[Andy Allen]

yep, just been looking now, £80 seems about the going rate, will get existing one checked first though

 

[doug boardley]

on the plus note, scrappy has offered me £200 for my old scudo that hasn't moved for 10months

 

[DHTiling]

Is it nacked, the scudo ?

 

[doug boardley]

[DHTiling]
