jojo said:Can't you just jump start your car and drive to a Halfrauds for a new battery?
god_thats_quick said:Nope it's really proper twatted, if I was looking at the right code on the climate thingy it was showing 10volts even when connected to a 535d for a long while, it's been sat for 5 days in the cold which I think was the last straw.
Any ideas of which Bosch part number it is anyone, thinking of getting the silver jobbie from costco, just want to make sure I get the right one.
PS, anyone with pretty much any car don't try and out accelerate a 535d, I suspect you'll loose.
god_thats_quick said:Just to be clear for everyone, it wouldn't start, turned over a little to begin with, then not a sausage even after being connected to a 535d for about 20mins, the battery was not holding enough current to start the car. popped to Costco this afternoon, some money and a new Bosch Silver battery later... had a ****** trying to get it to fit in the car (which it did just) and now all is well.
The car starts quicker than it ever has and seems to have done the job.
