Re: electrics gone a bit random query...

Re: electrics gone a bit random query...
Thanks for responses so far chaps - I'd put the battery on the bench and it's charging as we speak, Regardless - I'll tackle it all next year..! Hard to tell what the prognosis on it is - but I have a sneaky feeling a new one will be on the way - at least. Fingers crossed that it's that simple... :)
