Hi guys and girls really need your help!!
On Saturday I went and collected my 180 from Somerset. I took jump leads n battery pack with me as the car had been sat dead for past 4 months but started first time...drove it all way back from Somerset to Devon,got home locked car and went indoors.
But when I came back out grab my stuff,the car wouldn't start again so presumed my battery was fried!! Yet when I took key out the ignition my alarm started going off :/ my dad said this could be because the battery is dead and has no charge.
So I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion on what battery to go for next as I see there's plenty different choices out there or if anyone else has had this problem and could help me out at all?
Cheers everyone

Try charging the battery overnight first

Go and get a Bosch, Varta or similar from your local motor factors, most good ones come with 3/4 year warranty now. Just whatever you do don't buy one from Helfrauds unless you have deep pockets! Can't believe how much they get away with charging.
