Your drive to/from MK would have charged that battery perfectly.


Yeah I noticed a little smell but it smelt like the car in front

It did charge up but would die instantly and then finally gave up the ghost

Was going through my box of bits on the weekend and found a seal. Looked at it and realised it was the seal for the fuel pump so took that apart to see if it had one on it and it didn't!

So whacked that on and now the smell of petrol seems to have gone completely

you couldn't really smell it in the car only when it was still and you had a window down. Seems alright now though which is good

fair enough

Might do a few bits more but not looking to do anything massive, just little subtle bits that only if you look for them you'll really find them
