Re: New comer - Progress (edit)
Winter has done its thing again whilst we were not looking
Cold Garage + stone chip = rather large area of lacquer peel on roof.
Battery; Battery Charger and/or winter conditioner is FUBAR.
No juice in Battery, charger is making the wrong charging signals when connected ( pulsating ampage when charging the lotus but steady draw on another battery) and conditioner hasnt done its job.
5 Year guarantee it says. Lets see
