cheers lads, back to you Kev.

If I can just hijack this for a minute. When my charger comes, I am not planning on removing the battery from the car. Red - Red and then do I put the negative on the grounding point or the negative of the battery? Thanks.

I have looked at this prior to buying the charger. Not sure about coding though? From Halfords £137 fitted (at home) Yuasa HSB096 Silver 12V Car Battery 5 Year Guarantee Extra Info Startup Power: 740amps AH Value: 80ah Bench Charge: 6amps Average Weight: 18.80kg Dimensions (LxDxH): 278x175x190mm Guarantee: 5 years Sealed maintenance free (SMF)

Mine seems to be in this category too. As with the OP I bought this back in July so I do not know the age of the battery. Starts ok, but you can sense the crank is starting to slow a little. It of course does not help with not being able to use it regularly. I have just taken a punt on one of these on amazon BUDDYGO Car Battery Charger, 12V/24V 8Amp Intelligent Automatic Battery Charger/Maintainer Delivers 3 Stage Charging, with LCD Screen And have 6 Charging Mode, Suitable for More Types of Batteries £30 and I can always return it if it is not suitable. Says it works for AGM batteries, and I can confirm the current fitted battery is an AGM one too. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

What’s this coding business? It’s all new to me.

Following this thread, I feel my car is about 2 weeks behind your situation. Almost word for word, but I’m still at the ‘just about starting’ phase. hope you get sorted.

I had a blowout and it didn’t even register. Only knew because of the noise and the soft feeling in my seat as I took a few corners.

Hi, if you are not seeing a change in engine load or a click from a relay, I would suggest your compressor has broken. I am no expert mind, but that would be my first port of call. A local independent should be able to change it for about £400.
