Well this seems to be the other half of the setup and it does'nt seem to be charging. Where can i get it tested and fixed? There is a small light nent to the on/off switch that is not working. Have tested the switch and that seems fine. It doesn't seem the easiest thing in the world to get into. Che...

This is the unit i have and the charge light does not come on when plugged into 240v. Have checked the obvious like the RCD etc but no charge. tested leisure battery with it plugged in to the mains and without and no differece.

Hi Kathy Same thing happened to me recently. After a lot of hassle and even replacing the battery it ended up the being the bush at the rear of the starter as well the gearbox bush. The starter spins like a demon now where it was really lazy, thereby me thinking the battery was on the way out. Cheer...

The starter spins freely now and turns the motor over at a good speed......and along i was thinking it was on the battery/chargin...

Just found out that it was virtually hanging off????? I 'm wondering if this could be the reason for my non starting/flat battery woes. I've replaced the battery, cleaned numerous earths even had the starter motor off thinking that the bush was goosed and the starter was getting "lazy". I ...

Hi rob......the leisure is only a regular one anyway but thats on its way out.
I have tried the bulb method and there isnt a drain anywhere......the battery was tested about 6-8 weeks ago and was fine but am now wondering if thats the culprit.....think i'll have to cough up for a new one.

No Tony, the alarm wasn't armed.

The van has been parked up at work for 5 days. Got in it to come home and the starter turned really slowly, not enough to start the van. Wouldn't even start by jumping from the leisure battery. Eventually got it started. The question is, could there be a drain? Battery has been checked with an expen...

In one question.....what is the best type of battery charger to buy and are the "intelligent" ( 3 stage) ones worth it???
Thanks
