    New battery for my L reg s2

    having serious problems with my battery. keeps going flat. at first i though it was because i wasnt driving the car enough but am beginning to think the battery is knackered.

    where would you say the best place to get one would be? halfords, german swedish? do i need any special type? am totally clueless

    cheers!

    No need for a special type, as long as it is rated correctly for the amp/hours you will be fine. I bought my last battery from my local Autofactors....

    Cheers,

    Steve.

      You sure your alternator is not faulty?? sounds like it to me
      Worth getting its output checked before splashing out on a new battery......BTDT

          And his n/s foglight is not in the right position. (I have photographic evidence of this.)
          He is thinking about a milltek and some real brakes aswell, I think he is letting himself go what with the wedding and all, it must be too much for him.

                Right, that's it. You promised you weren't going to tell anyone if I promised to get it sorted.

                    Nearside fog lamp is not fitted correctly
                    That's not good form for the S2 Forum Mr OEM now is it?
                    Especially as you are banding this picture round other forums advertising the virtues of the S2.

                    Go and have a rest and sort yourself out.

                            Bump on this, I can't find the definitive answer either.

                            ABY with aircon if anyone knows?
