Just a carbattery for what?
I know the battery needed, its just an 063 car battery for a little fiesta, I normally buy batteries from motor factors incase of any warranty problems down the line, but I was going to just order online and wondered if anyone could recommend a good online car battery supplier who will provide support and will honour the guarantee. failing that ill just ring my factors and see if they will deliver.I despair sometimes.
my no1 pet hate, if you can't afford it don't have it its simple.fixing a car is easy, it is fixing the right bit that is harder!
I once had a BMW X5 come in, guy was waiting in reception for me to test the third alternator and second battery & new fan belt, he had had fitted elsewhere, I went to drive it into the workshop and he said "be careful the power steering goes stiff sometimes" but I cannot afford to fix that right now, told him to sit back down, gave him his keys back, asked for £20.00 for diagnosing the problem, he did not really want to pay me but I said no pay no diagnosis, so what was wrong?
damper rubber split inside the front pulley, slipping under load, did not want me to fix it as I was too expensive..... he had already spent over a thousand pounds and was waiting for warranty claims to refund him for bits he had sent back as faulty.
