heckler Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 bugger, my halfords battery has just died on me... Jump start the car, 13.6v no probs, go for a drive, no probs. turn off the engine and goes to 12.1v (not a prob) then in the space of a minute, drops to approx 9v and remains there. Dead cell me thinks. So, if you see a chap going around japfest looking for a jump-start, thats me! Its was only 11 months old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) They are quite good i find. My car regularly sits for 4 weeks or more on end and it has always started first time without an issue. Was quite impressed it sat for 7 weeks once and started up first time, albeit with abit of a struggle.

Dnk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I found Halfords to be very exspensive regards the battery £85 off Halfords and £44 off my local Toyota dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I found Halfords to be very exspensive regards the battery £85 off Halfords and £44 off my local Toyota dealer That's all well and good if you have the big post UK battery. Us J-specs have to either mod the loom, or buy a battery with posts small enough to fit. I have a small post halfrauds jobby in at the moment. Works fine, it's only been on their about a month though and I've driven the car once in that time. I'll let you know how it's holding up in a few months time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
