Hi folks,

Just bought my first AM but am over in Europe and the owner manual is in German. Could someone please let me know how to get hold of an english version thanks. Its a 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster.

Also on the battery - what exactly does the battery switch in the boot do and do I need to use the battery conditioner regularly or only when I am not using it for weeks on end?

Sorry that these are likely the usual questions repeated, but any help very much appreciated thanks

Astonmartinbits website will probably have alternative language handbooks.

The battery switch in the boot disables all non-essential car functions to save power. Depending on the condition of your battery and whether or not you have a tracker fitted or not, you could make it last over a month without dropping the charge, significantly.

I use my car around once a week at present so I don't bother with putting the conditioner on it. I dare say I'll not use it much over January/February so will put it on charge, then.
