Flat battery

Now when I bought it, the family said it kept going flat(obviously never used much) so they bought a new one, but this also kept going flat. On checking the battery, it's the wrong one

Not nearly big enough for our cars

Had a look at ECP & they've got a sale on, Bosch S4 075 with 4 year guarantee, was £117.99, now, delivered, £66.84

Result

Should have fitted a diesel battery , they're much better

An 075 of good quality is more than perfectly fine for a 1.8.

Ronnie has made an excellent choice!
