Dunno, not got any jumpleads

 

Only half an hour. At least you didn't have to drop the back wheel out.

then invest a tenner in a set - they are very useful diagnostic aid

 

I'd be stuffed then, to do that I need to remove the rear fairing bits
to get the mudguard out of the way, because I can't get it high enoug to
drop the wheel out. And I can't do all that because 1 bolt needs
drilling out, and I can't be arsed.

 

A very useful aid which both my kids have walked off with, so that 20ukp
invested so far

 

<G>

The battery died on The Doctor's Micra this week, so you're not alone.

 

Have you tried Honey in it?

 

With a new in place, it might be worth looking at the state of the
charging system, to ensure it lasts longer than another four years?

 

<Cautious question>

The Micra's battery, or The Doctor?

 

Both

 

I do put it through the mill, I suspect this years little trip across
Europe got to it, that or the week next to the sea in New Brighton.

 

I forgot to mention, pretty hard to do for a sealed battery -)

 

We share a son?

Jump leads, mobile compressor, air tools aplenty, airbrushes, airlines...
the list goes on.

I gave up working out how much he's cost me in "borrowed" equipment a long
time ago.

You'd think that when I hear "Daa-aad?" a light would go on, wouldn't you?

Depends how desperate you are, if you need the bike to go pick up a new
battery, its worth prying off the plastic cover that holds the rubber vent
caps and try topping up the cells.

 

It would - if he hadn't borrowed that as well ;-)

 

No, I don't posses most of the below

I did however find one set hidden in the tyre well on the car while
cleaning it today.

Which is probably a good place for it.

As longs as I remember that is where it is

Yer, but its your son, how can you not say yes ?

I'm lucky, mine now has his own house and lives 115 miles away

But daughter will be moving back in a couple of months :-(

 

Nah, , its why I always keep old batteries around.

 

Fucking good point

One only remembers treasure in hiding places after it's been found.

That's the thing innit? You want to, but you can't, although I have
mentioned hire costs in the past, not that it's made one iota of difference.

Mine has his own house too *and* his own business, but I fear he'll always
be coming back here to "borrow" things. I've got stuff that *he* thinks
doesn't need doubling up so if he bought an item I have, it's wasted money.

I think he's probably a bit smarter than me :-(

I went through that myself (not your daughter, of course with the return
of the Prodigal, but he brought his wife with him. Thankfully it was only
until his house was being built/finished and he'd already flogged his
previous abode. I'd not want to do it again.

They leave, but they never "leave".
