Morning all. racking day here. Was cold this morning and battery in van was acting up. Would barely start. Dunno why, the battery is 6 weeks old. Had the same problem with the last one. Doesn't seem to be anything draining it overnight though the battery isn't the recommended size for the van.

Reg is off to York. He might have an idea or two when he gets back. PS is in Tenerife so he's no bloody use!

Disconnect it overnight Dermo, Connect it up next morning and if it spins over you know you have a drain,3rdforum wrote:Morning all. racking day here.

If there is nothing obvious on try disconnecting the alternator, if it dosent drain again there is the problem,
They can leak away inside and you cant see it,

Morning members, Mr Potts just called on his way to church, Claude (The cat) never came home last night, Thats unusual 
, Harry his brother go's walkabout but never Claude, 
, I'm the only other person he visits, Bit stand offish he is, We have an understanding - i dont expect much and he wants the best ham or chicken i can find in the fridge, Sometimes if i'm really lucky he will rub against my legs, but thats as far as it go's.
I like Claude, He has attitude, Takes no shit from anyone,
