Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Car Battery Replacement

    Afternoon all. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice on where I might be able to a) get a new car battery and b) get it fitted, preferably in the city centre. I've already tried calling the place in the Tesco Shopping Centre, but no dice - the lady said that they have very few batteries in stock. I've read that it is an easy enough job to do, but I wouldn't have a clue where to start! Thanks :)

    note how that video never bothered to clean the battery mold on top of + terminal first,kettle full of hot water to clean first,and i would use a ring spanner or socket to tighten battery nuts not pliers or open end spanner.
