ploppy Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 if u get ur car to the nearest halfords they can check the condititon of the battery with their bollox of a battery tester. it can tell u if the battery is fucked or if it needs charging (I.E. KNACKERED ALTERNATOR). the service is free by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
