ok i now know my battery is fubar it has let me down thre times in the past couple of months and i have boght a new one BUT! how long does anyone reckon i can go on with the old one still on! does a weak battery affect driving i have noticed it seems to be hesitant when pulling away etc; does a knackered battery affect performance in any way this is all just hyperthectical! the next time it has drained i will stick the new one on! how long does anyone reckon that will be? it's been fine for a week now but the guy at the battery place stuck the meter thingy on it and said "replace battry" ?
