Well I spent 2 hours at our local beach car park late afternoon parked up , radio on very low , and after 2 hours flat battery tried to jump start it but not having it , got the rac and jump leads and starter pack together and started up but now have no sat nave screen ?? Any info or help why this has happened would be great gents , stew

Leave the radio on for two hours on most cars and you will flatten the battery, if you have the radio on then a lot of other things are on as well... nothing unusual there...

The jump starting issue is because the battery was very flat, all the power that the leads can transfer goes into the battery and not to the starter, larger jump leads that take a higher current will help....

Sounds like the systems need a reset, look in the WIKI and do a correct battery disconnection, hopefully this will sort your problems.... Pete

Sat nav screen all came back this morning but I'm not messing around I'm getting a new battery today

Recommend new batt at least every 3 y as preventative maintenance to everyone - got to be one of the cheapest fixes!

Why?

My battery has just fubar'd its'self... with the help of the DSP amp

and I'm about to purchase a new battery with a 5 year guaranty, so why change it in the warranty period? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I've fitted a new battery with 5 year warranty the old one will have my 25 amp ctec treatment and to see what happens to it . As I run 4 transits , 1 Isuzu tipper , 2 dumpers and a 2.7 ton Volvo digger it's always handy to keep a couple of charged batteries  07 VSE

Well that's another good reason not to go to Halfrauds

I've chanced an internet supplier, but I did check them out first , they have a good feedback on the bay of fleas, but I brought direct from them and saved a tenner
