So has happened twice now where the car has failed to crank over properly. It tried and the dash lights up but both times I've had to bump/jump start. I think when charged the battery has enough for a couple of starts but the third shortish journey seems to have a problem. Anyway to cut a story short I'm around Bournemouth this weekend, does anyone have a battery tester I could come and use, need to figure out if it's the battery not holding charge or the alternator not charging properly.
Cheers all!

Dropped into Halfords, they have a Yuasa battery/alternator tester. Battery was reading 166 amps rather than the 360 it should have been. New battery bought, and got them to fit to take away the old one. Job jobbed.

Forgot to mention, picked up a couple of bulbs to go with the new wipac lamps. Currently BOGOF on all the upgrade bulb stuff at Halfords 👍

Do all of them have this? I think I might need to get mine done as it's struggling slightly... (more bloody money )

I'd imagine so, the one in Bournemouth isn't huge and they had it.
