If you do need a new battery there was much discussion about options recently when I needed mine. Halfords for a Yuasa 5 yr warranty effort, with a trade card discount, is what I went for in the end.
Thanks for that Adrian - was just reading that thread
I will try waiting 6 secs and see if that does it.
