Default Flat battery



Flat battery yesterday - fortunately in garage - the S hadn't been out for a week.
20 hours of charging shows it building up and then dropping waa-a-a-y back.
New one tomorrow, warranty or not!
I see from a search that this is not uncommon.

Had mine changed last Monday because it was draining and I couldn't risk it failing whilst away on a midweek break around the W Midlands.

My honda dealer did it while I waited, but have sent a bill for

Thanks for that. I'll have a check round and see if I can match the spec. I get a discount from Ford so it'll probably be worth sourcing there if they do one.
