My Tamora is turning over slowly, kept on an accumate and green light on so fully charged, shows 13.7 v when driving so charging via alternator and no fuse problem.
It catches ok so I am assuming its the battery thats the problem and so far the accumate has been masking the problem.
As far as I am aware its the original battery Jul 04 car so I can't complain, just wondering if you all agree with the diagnosis.
TIA

yeah it sounds like the battery is on the way out, fitting a new one is a quick easy job so its probaly worth doing, just make sure the keys arent in it at the time cause it will lock and the windows will close, but thats not to much of a problem cause we all know TVRs arent the hardest cars to brake into wink

it might also be worth fitting a CTEK so when your cars sitting in the garage the batterys kept charged, this will lengthen the life of your battery biggrin

Got a new one fitted today at SP £75:00 which I reckon is a very good price, so if you think your battery is on the way out why wait.
