Chaps

Does anyone know if the battery fitted to the RRS is an uprated one or is it the standard size fitted to all RRS models ?

Mine died at Chievely services yesterday, after I stood listening to the radio whilst scoffing a sandwich. Forgot that the blowers were going full tilt as well, so 15 minutes later I turned the key to start up and just got a *click* from the engine. Felt a right numpty I can tell you. Anyway, upshot of that was Mr AA telling me the battery was fubar anyway and looks to be the original, so as it's due a service anyway I'll get a new one fitted. Obviously if it's uprated I'll need to get one ordered in ready, rather than them fitting the standard one.

Cheers

Mike

Mike - just fitted one to mine - standard, but latest is upgraded over original standard (i.e. higher crank charge).

Do it yourself and tidy up the battery compartment whilst you're in there - mine was awful!

Have you re-painted your car to something less bright yet?

:D

Ahh, cheers Chris, will make sure it's got a bit more wap to it then :D Already tidied the battery box after finding a chafed wire earlier this year. What a bloody mess that was !!

Colour change ? Nah, just a liberal coating of mud. Needs a good polish again ;)
