Well the thing's sat on the drive for the past 8 days because of no tax, the battery was fully charged when it went in, it started first time so I went down the petrol station, when I got back into the car the battery was flat. It eventually started after a couple of attempts, so it's safe to...

I just want to make sure it's f*cked before changing it, if something on the car's draining it I don't want to stick a new one in and have the same thing happen.

Raz if I ever get paid enough to tax my car I need to come over to Andy's to get the battery drop tested, it went flat last week and had to be recharged, I want to test it before buying a new one.

LOL, oh. :o Good job I posted really as if I was capable of making it, i'd have just been sat in the car park tonight like a c*nt. lol

At the moment I don't know if i'll be making this tonight, i'm owed a lot of money and was expecting it last week, but the bank holiday has f*cked everything up, so as it stands i've got an untaxed car with an empty petrol tank. So unless I can borrow a car I won't be there, even if I can...

No that i'd say no to a drive of it, but those wheels are fecking horrible!

Oh right, well there's a blue 172 with white fog surrounds, front grill, side strips and rear bumper insert driving around Cov, someone else is obviously a graduate of the Stevie Wonder school of car modification.

I've seen this thing round Cov, looks like Stevie Wonder did the styling.

How old's your battery?

Twisted Performance are an aftermarket tuner of Landy's. http://www.twistedperformance.co.uk/

Few quids worth there, i'd love a Twisted Defender but i'd need to win the lottery, they're crazy expensive!

I thought these had a vented bonett for the inter cooler?

Maybe this year i'll actually be allowed to park with my mates ffs!

Lovely car. I hate being a Clio driving porper.

Is it 0.00000-1 by any chance?

You bought a Beetle as a cheap reliable run around? lol

Can someone please explain what a drop test is?

Oh right, sorry Phil. :o

Part of me just thinks that going to a battery place to have it tested will just end up with them selling me a new one, I can't imagine they're going to say 'nah it's fine mate, keep your money'. I don't even know what a drop test is. :(

That was with the engine off mate, looks like I need a new one then, it'll have to wait until next week though as i'm out of tax and get paid at the end of the week. ​Why does sh*t always f*ck up when you're skint?

Yeah it started at 18 and levelled off at about 13v, it was still dropping but only by 0.1 every 20 seconds or so.

I take it you were born with the ability to decipher electronic settings and use a multimeter then? The last one I used didn't have a dial, just a needle that told you what volts it's putting out, I don't have an electronics degree so don't know what any of it means. The alternator's hovering...

In DCV there's 500, 200, 20, 2000m & 200m, which one should I use?

My battery was flat yesterday and I need to check if the alternator's charging it properly, it should be because it's brand new, i'm thinking the battery running flat and recharged a few times has knackered it. A bloke I know has lent me this, but I don't know what setting to put it on to check...

Mine's still in there, it's just not connected to anything.

Lol, quick put it on Gumtree they're rare as Unicorn spunk!

I'd love to know what Daniel thought was too harsh to post. lol Btw which 1.4 engine does my 172 have?

Why do these vids always drown out cars with music? Should be the other way round! Cool car though.
