I think it's more a system/module/sensor error than the battery now. New Varta fitted but not any better.

OK - so the battery is a brand new Varta which was fully charged before it was fitted. I've just been on a 30 mile run, to see if it would show a decent charge afterwards. I stopped half way and got a reading of 12.2v - which was encouraging as it's the highest I've ever seen. However when I got hom...

Not the best start

Modern oils are synthetic and last for ages. I won't be bothering at around 6k on the clock in October. I don't need the second year Ford breakdown as Ford Direct cars come with two years full breakdown cover. However if they offer me a convenience check at a decent price I might just have it and lo...

I drove back from Tadcaster (7 miles) and immediately checked the ETM charge - it ...

Going on from this. Does anyone think the wipers, especially the left one, are a bit rubbish?

I’m finding my screen washers a bit rubbish too really.

Maybe they just need adjusting.

So tomorrow I'm taking it in for a battery exchange. We’ve agreed to another Rombat as an interim (they don’t want this one to fail as it looks like it might) and a Varta is on order for me. Then it is going in on Thursday for a full battery system check. Maybe it’s a system error but it will be in...

Stoopo, looking forward to your results. I'm almost hoping the second Rombat fails and you get the Varta fitted. Maybe Ford CRC will be then more amenable to other owners with the same battery problem. The Varta is getting fitted, whatever happens because they are taking this Rombat off another sto...

Excellent idea!

Not seeing many replies yet though. Maybe after work
