Finally got over the "winter dead battery syndrome" today. Symptoms started with a sluggish turn over and not starting. Moved on to rapid clicking of starter motor and random arming of the alarm. Then came the dreaded starter motor Clunk. Then total death of the electrics. All this happened during the cold weather, even though the car was on its battery conditioner. So I charged up the battery and tried again today, nothing. New battery in a 590 cca 072 unit. Now all is good again. Went out for a spin with the roof off. 10 mins later, carried on the spin but with the roof up, it was brass monkeys. Bring on the good weather!
