I fell out of the car this morning when I was trying to clear the frost off the windscreen, don't ask (I went to get out to adjust the wipers and caught my foot in the long dangly bit hanging off my key ring..), good job no traffic was coming, I fell flat on my face..... perhaps I ought to bring my windscreen in overnight too?

what do you mean April? I've just brought the battery in and hooked it up to the charger, i was going to get a solus charger but someone on here said the charge does not last as long and so i am just using the ordinary one. I bring it in alot now it is winter time, it's very simple, there's only a + and - lol
It's a result of growing up on a farm and having to be able to get the vehicles moving no matter what the weather, my dad used to have to make sure the tractors started every morning and the land rover, and so we alwats had batteries on charge somewhere over the winter, he used to put old rugs under the bonnets of our cars overnight too, my sister and brother and I all had minis at one time, it was like the Italian job down the lane, every morning at 7am dad would make sure each one was started up and brought up the yard from the barn ready for us all to go to work!

ah well, there's the thing, it's 13 months old and has a 2 year guarantee, but the shop i bought it from, a Motorworld shop, closed down last summer, and the nearest one is in Wigan, where I never go anymore, so I would have to get there at some point, and as yet i haven't managed to. I will get it swapped as soon as i can get there.
It does sound like your battery's had it's day dot, I had the same trouble a few weeks ago, I got the battery tested and there were some dead cells (whatever that means!!) I bought a new one, and no problem now whatever the weather, even if my car stands all weekend, if starts first time on Monday morning!...................
