Took the BSL to a reputable Auto Lecky as the start had been getting noticably slower over a few days,, Their professional opinion was a parasitic leak from 3 sources, my obd2 port, the brake controller and the LPG system. After the first day of slower starts I stuck it on a 7 stage batt charger for 7 hours where it reached the end stage,, the very next morning it was a very slow start, so much so I parked it up out in the street where there is access,, now all the leaks together still only reached milliamps,, all 3 items have been on the car forever (over 5 years for the brake controller and obd2, the LPG came with the car so??) anyway thats was their result, disconnect the two inside, bolt a new battery in and see ya later.
If nothing else I am happy for the clean bill of health to the charging system. Hopefully I get more than 2 and a half years out of this batt.
and I'm convinced thats what it was, just a batt failure,, the rest was window dressing to pad out the bill with some labour.
was funny sitting in the waiting room listening to the alarm go off its head,, and then hearing the car back out and park outside, then 40 mins later getting the invoice, all that time neatly allocated...
