It didnt last long

So I picked her up Tuesday afternoon from the MOT centre, drove to work / home / back to work wednesday / to a supermarket wednesday for lunch - then battery totally dead. (Had to get a jump start from a friend and she limped home)

I have done a total of 60 miles.

So I either have a faulty battery that is losing charge or the alternator is not charging correctly or power is being sapped elsewhere?

The joy continues.
My car and I are not to be taken seriously! Its just for fun..

Sorry to hear you've got more aggro.

Alternator output is easy enough to test, so hopefully won't take long to get to the bottom of this problem at least :D

I finally got the eBay sleeves on the front and as low as they will go.

I then sprayed the drivers side with the MTN94. Black at the bottom and Angel Blue at the top.

Are you saving for some BC coilovers? You can go much lower than that with BC's.
