Packed it for a trip to Norfolk. Turned the key to hear rup... rup.... rup..... clickclickclickclickclick.....
Swapped the starter motor... no joy.
Wouldn't start using the leisure battery as a booster either.
Put the battery on charge, was going after a 5 minute boost. Left it charging until the charger said full, then gave it a 300a load test for a few seconds.
Rup... rup....... clickclickclickclick.
Ordered new battery, this time an Exide EA722 Premium (096TE, 72A/hr, 720CCA). The Bosch S4008 that's in it only lasted 28 months, and the Varta E44 before about the same, so trying something different.
