Battery Woes
Twice this week flat battery , but I suppose 5 years from a Halfrauds one is what one can expect .
Phoned a couple of local stealers this morn , they all quoted £70 ish pounds for an OEM , but none had one in stock , none seemed to want give any discount
Any way Shield Batteries inBishops Stortford had 2 option, their own 2 year warranty for £49+vat! or a Duracell for £54+ vat with 4 year warranty which is what I had , both had the option of the posts either side so no problem with fitting .

Don't tell MB!
And if you read the rimwax post correctly, I used Rimwax four years ago when I had the wheels refurbed. Loads left in the tin so I might use it again, four years isn't bad for lasting protection.
