well the car wouldnt turn over the other day.... had to call racv.... said the battery was gone.....
I wasen't quite sure to believe him as we've been having trouble with starting the car for a few months and was told by several people (including another racv man) that the battery was fine and it might be the starter drawing too much current!!! (hence why the car would crank up slowly sometimes)
latest RACV dude confirmed that the starter MAy be the problem but after testing the battery he assures me its had its life (4 years old)
Whats the equivelent to a RACV battery (standard for a VS) as he quoted me $112.00 (standard), he says marshall uses the exact same battery with just a different sticker n marshal sells them for $130...
What has other people paid for a new battery from say repco, autobarn etc?? and could anyone suggest an alternative brand for cheaper that will do the same job....
Cheers
