Aussieduke 2010-08-10 00:44:00 UTC Weeksy, you were right. Charged battery overnight, held 12.97volts.....starts straight away now. At first sign of any more trouble, Ill replace it, as it is 3 years old now. The previous owner worked away a lot, so I think it had been flat and recharged quite a number of times? Now it's raining......Doh!
