    Battery : What are your experiences?

    Many thanks for the input to date, it seems a general consensus that a 100Ah is a good idea, jump starting is a very bad idea as it leads to fault codes and blown electronic modules, trickle chargers ensure cars that arent driven daily remain charged and ready to go, and in the states people...

    Windscreen wiper relays R129 SL500 1994

    The N10/2 and K26 relays should be taken out, contacts cleaned, and replaced. I managed to find the N10/2 relay under the cover behind the fuses by removing the 4 visable screws.
