Went out to fire up the car......chatter, chatter, chatter....that flat battery sound. Put her on charge overnight (C-tek charger in re-con mode) , fully charged in the morning, stlll chatter, chatter, chatter. Its Sunday evening now, on 2nd glass of Beaujolias, it'll have to wait. Simple checks seem to tell me battery voltage is ok all ele trics functioning with gusto but chatter it will. Battery is Halfords best 2019 with 5 year warrenty. I'm now suspecting some corrosion or the likes at that hefty 70Amp fuse in the battery lead or at the terminals. Bloody battery location, behing passeger seat, carpet out, cover to remove. I did enclose the fuse and carrier in a polybag, wonder if ive caused condensation! Will report back, meanwhile is there anything i've overlooked gents.
