Van Battery.

[telectrix]

Mine just starting to play up. Goes flat overnight in the cold. Bear in mind it's been on the Hiace for 4 years and was salvaged from my old van then. just phoned local place... £95. searched ebay, Yuasa 90Ah, 4 year warranty. £85.99 with free delivery, bit currently has a 20% discount, so £68 and a bit. Happy Days.

Wouldn't an insurance company deem the cost against the van a write off

cheeky sod.... as an aside, Green Flag have quoted double to renew breakdown cover because the van will be 16 years old next year, so is considered by them as high risk. . funny enough the 3 call-outs they had last year were to 'er indoors' 2012 Cmax. the van never broke down.

yep. all i spent on mine in 4+ years is MOTs, oil changes, and 2 tyres. oh, and i shook the crap out of the air filter 3 years ago.

I bet some scouser swine was nicking the lecky out of the battery overnight . Clearly no tools worth taking ??
