Bloody hell Mikerich grow up ffs.

Read the post properly, If I pay good money (saved over many years) for a product, does some lazy ass wanker have the right to f**k it up for me due to his LACK OF RESPECT AND COMMON DECENCY then something is wrong.

I work in a factory for average money.........im not a snob in fact I can't be bothered to argue my point here........If you dont like it......read another thread......you have PISSED ME OFF BIG TIME..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try something like:

http://www.calamander.co.uk/batteryconditi...ers/airflow.htm

It's a battery conditioner - so it won't over charge or cause damage. This should be fine for leaving the car a few weeks. If you leave it longer, you can get more specialised versions that actually partially discharge and cycle the battery, rather than just keeping it charged.

Then hopefully the only thing you'll have to worry about when you take the S2k out after a couple of weeks is pulling you're grinning muscles

I was even toying with the idea of having a spare battery in the garage as an emergency spare (

Brindley Honda ran a series of checks on the car and battery and found the battery to have a total failure.
It will not hold charge at all.
They replaced it today under warranty, no problems.
The car was given a clean bill of health.
The dealer even reminded me that I need to bring the car in for its seatbelt recall, Ill do that when I get the stereo improved.
They even wanted to wash the car for me but I got there early so they could'nt

The AA man caused
