if old one tested ok them proubly is, is new battery going flat? might be something staying on that shouldnt be, i had a boot light stuck on once in a punto that drained the battery, also a radio back light stayed on in another,

if you do short trips especialy in winter with sounds, heater fan, heated rear screen on ect, you batery wont recharge its self enough from when its used to start the car,

Yeah, our's was a 60SX.  The 55SX had the black bumpers, but the 60SX had the coloured ones and most of the electric tools.


Happy days, we went to pick it up from Diss at midnight on the 1st August 1997.  There were several others there, my folks picked their new one then as well and p*ssed a few people off because we were the first 2 cars to leave the forecourt just before midnight.   We then followed my folks down the A140 to Ipswich, until Sniper got bored of sticking behind my dad and we left them for dust.  Got some looks in the morning when the kids down the down the road show their first R reg car at 7.30am in the morning.  By 8.00am Sniper was outside polishing it, as it had been raining early. Ah happy day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Doesn't help Kate's problem thorugh, sorry love.
