Roylewaa Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 For the past few days my mb2 has been slow turning over when starting in the morningsToday it barely turned over and now just clicksObviously battery has had it, it looks ancient and may even be the originalMy question is I can't afford a new battery at the moment, the scrapyard over the field has a good battery that is almost the same size, identical in depth and width and half an inch shorter in length Will this battery be ok?Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roylewaa Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Funnily enough I think that's what the battery in the scrapyard is, it's Bosch and blue and I remember it saying s summit They want 15 quid for one, I need one asap as its dead on the drive and its on a gradient so near impossible to push off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roylewaa Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks chaps, battery was only a tenner as had to go to a different breakers, like I mentioned I had to swivel the neg earth bolt around to get a bit extra length to reach the connectorsI've noticed it's idling a little lower now since having the battery disconnected which is a little weird :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
