Advice please - New battery required

[Wedgie400]

Hi, Guys

I need a new battery for my 400SE - can anybody recommend a good one - At the moment I only go out once a week (weather permitting) and it keeps going flat after a week - I dont have a power source in my garage.

Thanks in advance

Very good. It might be that you are not getting enough charge back into the battery? Before you spend out check for the obvious problems like a high resistance short dragging the battery down?

How's it going anyway? That is Nick from Duxford?

Hi Jeff, Yes it is - how are you both doing ?
I will be at Duxford this year to show the new toy off.
Trying to upload a picture - but I might leave you in suspense - lol.

No problem. You sent me 3. Like red I see?
Any how. Doing fine here. How are you both getting on the the beast? Do you stil grin when starting it up

If you havn't already guessed it you can do a search by using the drop down menu at the top. Very handy for past problems tha may already have been covered but also addictive.

Bosche Silver top .. car starts like a spitfire being turned over .. if you can get one from France they are £20 cheaper than the uk.

Thanks for the advice guys - any excuse for a booze cruise. Any ideas on prices and where can I get one in France.

Many thanks

Got mine direct from Lucas, as per listed in there catalogue for a v8 Wedge.Only recently started the car up after 6 months work on it and it fired up no trouble without even charging!

Most HyperMarche's stock them ( the Carefore in Le Mans does!)

If you want the Bosche code, ill get mine posted....
