STILL having a nightmare with this.
After the AA put a new battery in, it went ok for a while. Then it failed, totally flat in the morning. I went to see the auto elec guy and he tested it. Said the battery was charging fine, and that it would need more extensive tests. Asked me to book it in a week later.
For the rest of that week, it all ran ok. And I decided to cancel the appointment thinking (hoping) that I may have gone over a bump or something and the fault had righted itself.
A week after that, it was flat again one morning, and then again the next morning.
Called auto elec guy, but as he seems to be the busiest man on Earth, he was booked up for the next week or so. He told me to call him the following week.
During that time, the fault was intermittent. Sometimes the battery would be ok for a few days, then totally flat. The last two days before I saw the electrician, it was flat.
So ...... today I went to see him. He lifted the bonnet, tested the battery, shut the bonnet and said "the fault is that your battery is knackered". WHAT? It's a virtually new battery and the AA put it in a few weeks ago BECAUSE of this ongoing fault"!! He said, " the issue now is that your battery is knackered and we cant go anywhere else until you get a new one".
Arrrgghhh. I've had to now go out and buy a new battery, but I just know it's going to be flat again in 2/3 days. At that point, when I try to contact the electrician, he will no doubt be booked up again for a week or two, meaning that my battery will be going flat every other day and end up knackered again.
How can I get this sorted?
