Have had my battery on Ctek trickle charge and went to start it today and just got the clicking noise.

Put it on the recovery setting and two hours later it started although hesitantly. Went for a drive and a coffee taking jump leads and screwdriver as a precaution. I needed them as it would not start again after a 20 minute run.

My conclusion is that the banner battery is 'shagged' using a technical term. Thankfully a fellow motorist gave me a jump start.

New battery tomorrow then.

The other frustrating bit is the aluminum battery cover being held on by six self tappers. These have only just caught the plywood and it is all a bit bodgeristic.

Has anyone come up with a solution that means you can use fasteners without having to use a screw driver? Press studs would be a better idea?

Fishless suggestions much appreciated.
