Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Got to my car this evening and the battery was flat (no lights etc left on). Im presuming its just old at this stage, battery was last changed about 6 years ago id say.

    Once I get it jump started tomorrow, what are the chances of my local small independent garage having a replacement battery handy there and then or am I better of to go straight to the likes of halfords where i know they would have one in stock?

    Thanks

    Your local motor factors should have a suitable battery in stock unless it's an unusual one.

    Watch out though that there is not some other problem i.e. that the battery is not being charged properly when the car is running. Otherwise, even if you buy a new battery, it could be flat quite quickly again.
