Having had the flu and the bad weather a few weeks ago, I had not had a chance to use the GS for several weeks... Anyway today looked nice so planned a nice run to the SW, possibly to meet SW piston heads on the way. Running behind time went to the garage and hoped the battery would be OK. It wasn't, but there was still some power to release the doors etc. Get second car and jumper cables and open the battery compartment door. Whaaaaaat? No only was there a nasty smell but there was also a huge pile of broken up felt piled up between the battery corner and the compartment door. I was surprised but not as surprised as Micky who tumbled out of his bed and scampered around the boot. Threw out his "bedding" (knowing that there would be a more to do later) and jumped the car -it started immediately as usual. Anyway, had a nice drive visiting my boyhood haunts and got back home just after sunset. Right-ho now to sort the boot. Opened the boot again and the smell was even worse. Pulled out all the linings and washed them with liquid flash and a hose. But the felt/neoprine sound floor insulation around the battery has had it. ****! It should be replaceable but I can't see it in Eurospares... Any ideas how I can replace this with new. If you are wondering, Micky escaped with his life into the garden -but no more Maserati Mouse Comfort Inn for him (the cats have been told)!
