My turn for battery probs....

Solved!

Found time to have a crack at it today, widdled the -ve terminal clamp and it came off the post in my hand! Tightened it as best I could, car fires fine.

Issue is my (ancient) ratchet set, can't even remember buying it it's so old, feels pretty cheap surprised it lasted so long but as suspected, the ratchet itself is jumping the ratchet mech. and not tightening. Trip to Halfords tomorrow.....

Anyone recommends a decent small imperial/metric ratchet set that's not hundreds of quids? I don't do enough spanner work now to justify a proper set of Snap-ons plus I'm saving up for an electron microscope......

Halfords professional.

I get the feeling the Professional range has been replaced with the Advanced, not sure if quality has changed.
Based on why you have said, a standard Halford set will be fine, I have had one for years and never had an issue.
I have snap on torque wrenches to use when it really counts.
