How much are new batteries then?
Swiftly said:Make sure you switch that little light off Ruby
Well there ought to be some little beep warning me that I left it on.

...for blind people
Bless you Rubes, I'd have helped you if I was nearer :friends:
Thank you. Felt a bit helpless and no one I knew seemed to want to go out of their way which has put me in a strop.
Actually that's not true Jamie W said he'd come if needed after he finished work

Nope, still on the way. They called to say they were running late.

I replaced mine recently - it was the original battery, so yours may be too as they last a long time but 6/7 years is value for money. If you look on top of the connections on the battery (can't remember which one) you will see 4 numbers stamped - the ones on mine were xx06, so it was manufactured in 2006 ; I can't remember if the first two were week numbers or month numbers. If yours is almost as old it's probably worth replacing it soon. Not sure about the M, but my new battery cost £106 IIRC. Get the breakdown chap to write down the exact type of battery you need to buy if it needs one but he's not got one with him.
It was flat battery sorted very quickly. The same man had come out to look at my Polo a few weeks back at doctors surgery. I was like "so this is my other car". He reckons it was flat because of the little light. Said to not bother with new battery unless it happened again. I've made it to my mates in Camberley. I think it's been running 45 mins. Can I turn off now?
Yup, that should do the trick.
If not, get your AA man out to take you to get a new battery. If your car fails and they can fix by the road with a part, they'll replace the part for you.
No labour for battery fitting
You still have to buy the part though.
( oh, and don't park in front of the Polo when you get home :wink

I have to ask. What exactly is the "little light" ?
Glad you are sorted, double trouble when your other car was blocked in!

Hopefully it's OK now but that's a shocking lack of gallantry, maybe it's London thing?
ldman:Here in the SW helping out can be so-so, but I've been spending quite a bit of time in the NE recently and am genuinely amazed at the lengths people go to helping out complete strangers, let alone mates! Best breakdown up't North next time
pvr said:Either the :
- Centre light
- Centre console light
- Boot light
There are no others
It's the light near the rear view mirror on drivers side. Was looking for my house keys in handbag. There really ought to be a warning so I don't do this again!
