I think it was removed by the previous owner. Possibly for that reason.
Looks like a new battery is on the cards, I did a 4hr repair mode today and left it on charge, it still wasn't reaching full charge and sounded sluggish when I went to start it. Will leave it overnight (off charge) and see...
I really like the Hulkman Sigma 5, appreciate CTEK is the known brand but Amazon reviews aren't spectacular. My only criticism of my Hulkman is it doesn't seem to do much with a totally flat battery, supposedly it jas a force charge mode but .the only way I got it to work was jump start then...
Thanks for the advice. Cost isn't as issue as batteries are batteries. Just seems strange the 4200 is so quick to drain . No tracker, will take your point on the alarm .
Right now I'm giving the battery a couple of weeks grace to see if this charger is able to provide any voodoo magic. I'm not...
I don't have an external socket at present. Current 'charge for any length of time' set up is cable by back door wedged closed with a golf putter/no letterbox. I agree about keeping a battery fully charged, I genuinely didn't realise how much it knackers up a battery letting it drop outside of...
Bought my car last year with what was a newish battery at the time. Never owned a car before that needed to be hooked up to a maintainer and though running it once a week or so (avoiding salt roads) throughout winter would suffice. How wrong I was.
In the depths of winter the had a tendency to...
I imagine a body shop could clean it up and respray the wing for maybe £500-750. But as others have said fitting those tyres to a Maserati , I have them on my Clio and I think they were a cheapie to get it through the MOT
Just drove the car for the first time in over a week after a couple of hundred miles in a couple of days. Battery had run down a bit so had it on trickle charge all morning. Started and set off ok, only once warmed up noticed it was a reluctant to rev beyond 2500 revs as if in limp mode. Parked...
Welcome on board. Market seems like an all time low so plenty of bargains to be had it you're handy in the tools. Unfortunately some parts costs are unavoidable so try and buy a car that do doesn't need rear control arms
A full length tour of Wales this weekend and not a single spot . Set off from Macclesfield to Swansea on Sunday and got stuck behind a load of Sunday drivers for the most part . Only saw one Maserati and it was an old guy in what looked like a diesel. Oh well, on the plus side I reached 150mph*...
Fwiw I just bought a Hulkman £49.99 with a £10 voucher that cropped up at checkout. Having read the reviews of Ctek and Noco I wasn't confident either justified the price tag. And at the lower end of the scale everything just looks like generic/rebranded dropshipped junk from China. To be fair...
Few manual £10k and below 4200's just cropped up on Ebay: -
