Ian, they are new batteries mate, but after I fitted them and the starter motor was still 'iffy' I parked up for 3 weeks and when I went to start it the batteries were very weak.
It's my own fault really, as no doubt the batteries weren't fully charged when I bought them and I should have either ran the Surf longer or charged them up before laying her up for 3 weeks.
Thing is, since I charged the new batteries up the starter isn't clicking any more, I may have bought the starter recon pack a bit prematurely, then again it came and went before. Still going to recon the starter though, better safe than sorry!
