Took it to a Jag dealer who lightened my wallet by a miserly £180 disconnected everything, stated the "new" battery was duff and put the old 4 year+ battery back in. Not had any starting issues for three weeks now. Mind you, no music or interior lights and such. Back to 1950's motoring.

Hiya Kev, took mine to Quikfit a couple of weeks ago to have their free winter check done and they said everything was fine. Cheers, Dave
