Of course I can disconnect either battery. In fact that's what I've done at the moment as I try to see if I can eke a little more life out of the starter battery. Who wants to buy 2 ... |

Thanks Bluest.
I'm able to follow your first two paragraphs - and what you've said makes sense. I'd have to check the specs of my chargers. One is a more modern 'Ring' one; the other an older Half ... |

Hi folks,
I did search, honest, but couldn't find anything that seemed to me to be answering this question. I can crimp wires and connect things together neatly, but I know my own limitations - and ... |

Hi there,
I’ll have a go, if only to start the ball rolling, as I’ve done most (though not all) of your shopping list.

My car is a 1994 300Tdi, so not so different.
On holiday in France recently, we packed up camp, jumped into the car, turned the key and …… nothing. No clicks, nothing.
