0widdy0 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 get yout battery tested, there is a place on shoreham street right on the corner where the new mini island is that will test it for you, other way is to just remove one from another car and test car with that one fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
