Todays Conundrum
This morning (early) the Fiesta failed to start, clearly a flat battery. Wife wails in frustration about her inability to get to early morning Pilates.
Obviously step one is throwing her the keys to the sty tourer, < TICK >
Obviously step 2 is to give up any idea of a leissulrely breakfast while she is out, so put down the tea and toast, change out of dressing gown and slap the battery charger onto the Fiesta < TICK >
So far so good
Now the question. " why has the battery gone flat, its been ok before?
Do you reply
(1) "Well sweetness I guess it was my fault, because I was playing war of the worlds at full blast on your car stereo for three hours* with the doors and boot open, while I changed your brake pads and in the process did two starts to prime the hydraulics"
or
(2) "Well the battery is 6 years old, it could be getting a little tired, and it was very cold this morning lets see how it goes"
