New battery?

[davtherav]

Jumped in 1st thing this morning, turned the key, it was very sluggish for the first and second revolution but then fired up. I have been thinking that the Battery hasn't been the same for a while now and thought I'd better renew before winter sets in. I usually only do short trips so this won't be great on Battery charging, so I've put it on charge tonight. It is 10 years old so probably has done well.

I've fitted the new Battery, got it from Halfords. I'm glad I did because we've had lows of 12° overnight and in the morning no hesitation to start.

I've just had both the middle section and back box of the exhaust replaced. The back box had lasted 3 years since the last one was fitted. The original lasted 7 years.
