I'm sure I've read somewhere on the forum about recoding a new battery, even if it doesn't have one. Will need to do a search to see if I can find it.
ADDENDUM: That didn't take too long. Not exactly what I said it was about, but worth a try. The link is as follows:
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....84&postcount=4 and the line in particular was:
'Just go into the battery coding and change the end digit to +1 from where it is and you'll probably find all is well again for a long while '
Worth a try, and may save you having to taking it back to the shop.
