The curse of the Lion battery struck again this week.
First real cold morning and the car wouldn't start.
I took the hit and replaced it with a Bosch S5 096 ...... ECP Part No: 444770968
£124
I gave it a 24 hour freshening charge before fitting.
Changing the battery on this car is rather an awkward operation.
I see that someone before me has already knocked a lump out of the plastic housing for the cabin filter.
New battery is in.
Voltage checks on full electrical load show that the alternator is doing its job OK.
Result !! ... £124 well-spent.
