Balls,went out to start the car earlier and it won't turn over,only dash lights on and a clicking noise,I can only think that the battery has given up even though my C tech charger has been plugged in for the last couple of months.Will have to get the bleddy jump leads out over the weekend and see what happens :bigcry:

NO Go
Brett
does sound like the battery
they do tend to give up the ghost almost immediately.
Keep us posted!! -
you might find the levels have dropped, I keep mine on battery conditioners all the time and have now had a couple needing topping up with water, a quick top up and re-charge and they are OK (usually!)
But don't do what a friend of mine did....his battery was flat so he connected the charger up...the wrong way around but because it was flat it didn't complain and after a few days - became + and + became -
Took him a while to realise what he had done!Comment

Ok,started right away when I jump started it,went and got the battery checked and they said it's fine,just needs charging.Now if someone in the know could enlighten me,I thought if a battery was down on power and not able to turn your engine over it was fucked,but he said a good run of 50-60 miles should sort it.Also these C-tech chargers are good but not man enough over a longish period,although this is the first battery issue I've had in over 6 years

Mine has been on the charger all its life left for long periods and always starts, when I can remember how, just off for Airbag recall then to Adem for MOT and oil service :thumbs:Originally posted by Bounce View PostOk,started right away when I jump started it,went and got the battery checked and they said it's fine,just needs charging.Now if someone in the know could enlighten me,I thought if a battery was down on power and not able to turn your engine over it was fucked,but he said a good run of 50-60 miles should sort it.Also these C-tech chargers are good but not man enough over a longish period,although this is the first battery issue I've had in over 6 yearsComment

I cannot see the C-Tek not being man enough. If it has been fine for 6 years then it should continue to be. Personally I would look at dirty contacts on the C-Tek to battery, a failed C-Tek, something draining the battery on the CSL (tracker/poor earth connection) or the battery is on its way out.Originally posted by Bounce View PostOk,started right away when I jump started it,went and got the battery checked and they said it's fine,just needs charging.Now if someone in the know could enlighten me,I thought if a battery was down on power and not able to turn your engine over it was fucked,but he said a good run of 50-60 miles should sort it.Also these C-tech chargers are good but not man enough over a longish period,although this is the first battery issue I've had in over 6 years
I think they say that two complete discharges and the battery is kaput.
