Recommend battery charger

Hi,
Have a 1.6 diesel t25 E reg. not using the van much at the minute but other day it struggled to start. Can anyone recommend a battery charger which I can just hook up to the main battery to keep it topped up. Seen loads on the market but not sure which one to get?

Cheers

Angie

Re: Over heating in cold weather

Thanks to you all for the replies I will look at bleeding the system when the snow clears and will check the radiator aswell.

Re: Over heating in cold weather

Hi there,

I am getting warm heaters, no problems there, not checked the radiator, daft question but when should I check the radiator? Does it warm up after the van has been running for a while.

Thanks
