Battery Update.
I took the battery into a different Halfords yesterday and the guy tested it and said it had passed! I asked them to keep it overnight so they tested it again today and it passed again! The member of staff was very helpful and even tried charging it for a bit and then testing it to see if he could get a different result but it was always fine. It's back in the car now so I'll keep an eye on it for a few weeks. I did a quick test with the engine running across the terminals and the reading was 14.3V. I then put on the heated rear window/lights/blower and it dropped to 14.1V and remained steady. When I put off the equipment, it rose again to 14.3V. I was under the impression that when you put on say the rear window, the voltage might drop slightly but recover quickly in a few seconds but that is not the case here. I'll have to get it into an auto electrician to get it properly checked but wondered if anyone had any further thoughts etc? Thanks. P.S. Jim, my Mum still loves the car. She drove my A6 tdi recently and asked me what was wrong with it to which I replied, "You've become an A8 snob - that's what is wrong with it"

 But I'd still love that photo one of these days. As to the battery, it was new when you got the car, from Hafords in Robroyston. The receipt might even be in the paperwork. I've also had a wee battery 'glitch': one morning, a few months ago, it just wouldn't turnover and start. so I charged it up, fully expecting to be stumping up for a new one - but it's been fine ever since, even through the recent cold spell.

I'll be getting David's S8 up too (my previous S8) and I bet Brian and Connor will join us in his for the shoot as well. Just let me know when suits - no particular hurry (we could even wait for a nice day!)
