Can anybody recommend a decent Jump Starter kit for the Tuscan. Mines sits in the garage and it's difficult to get cables to it to jump from another car. I bought the Black and Decker one but I don't thinks it's powerful enough to do the job.

I bought a portable jump pack from Machine mart, buy the biggest most powerful one you can, the one I bought is ok if the battery is not fully flat, but if it is, it will not work. Halfords also sell one, quite grunty I think, you will still need the correct jump leads that plug into the bottom of the Tuscan.

I have no power in my garage and often leave car for a couple of weeks....

is one of these a must or will I get by without it? Left Tuscan for nearly 4 weeks before and it started first time - is that unusual?

more than 3 weeks on a new charged battery is a fluke.

As the battery deteriorates it will become less and less.

I would suggest a trickle charger.

I brought the connector into the car.

Had to lay my car up for a year, while I went to oz.

It started first time on my return!

Car was serviced and running great.

Got a trickle charger but in the event it goes faulty or your garage power is cut I want to make sure I have another means of starting the car. I've got the special jump leads and can easily access the passenger side battery connector. However, what jump start/charge kit is best and will work with a Tuscan?
