Recently on starting, the ole Surf has seemed a bit sluggish turning over. But as I put new batteries on four months ago I just put it all in the back of my mind "like you do".
Got in the truck this morning after a 12 hour night shift and it was just about dead. Managed to flag my mate down in is tiny Fiat Punto to give me a jump start. All the way going home in my mind planning on taking the Alternator off, on the bench trying to get parts etc etc. But before that I thought I would take it back to the auto electrical engineers where I got the batteries from.
First tested was the near side one the machine said ,good do not change, I thought here we go, next the offside one machine said ,bad change battery.The nice chap also whipped out the plugs and drop tested the said battery it had two cells fissing like a can of lemonade. So new FOC battery fitted near side one on slow charge just in case its a tad tired after helping the other one....Fingers crossed
