because while i'm shivering to death in a budget hotel near Antwerp docks I've had a phone call from home , Land Rover assistance had to be called this morning as the battery couldn't kick the car into life. I normally upgrade batteries but if there is warranty cover in place I'll take whatever is on offer 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

yes it should be, i had mine replaced due to it failing

they normally look at it and put it down to a flat battery and jump start it though, but get them to check the voltage going in and out

Cheers, apparently the guy who came out said the batteries fitted were not the best, On the defender I used big glass fibre mat batteries with enough cranking amps to drive into town on the starter, but the car has been hesitant all week since the cold snap. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Down by the Schelde MartyB, that takes me back. Can’t remember the name of the hotel but it was opposite a tower on the river. Interesting side streets
