MH problem.

[trevskoda]

Been fannying around most of the day with the mh, mate brought a battery round and mh still dead. He didn't like the look of some of the wiring but nothing he said make much sense to me. Oh well.

Was the battery he brought a good yin, did yis test the bu--er first.
Hay ye tried jump leads from a live running car, or jump from the les batts to starter batt.

When the AA came to start my van they said it was a knackered battery, the actual problem was very slight corrosion on the terminals, it’s worth removing the battery cables from the battery and cleaning all the contact areas with some emery paper.

Vaseline might also help.

Up and running again. Battery and earthing problem like most of you predicted. Mechanic sold me a nearly new battery for £50, sorted out a couple of other jobs and charged me £140 plus the battery. More than happy with that.

Thanks for all the advice guys, really appreciate it.

Might be a good idea to keep your MH connected to a battery charger/conditioner if it is left standing for long periods of time.
With all the electrics in todays vehicles there will always be a small drain on the battery when standing. This drain will cause the battery to slowly discharge. If the battery is left in a discharged state it will kill the battery.

Another 30 quid would have got you new battery with 3 years warranty you've been stuffed again ,

Not sure about that Bazz. It would have to be a pretty poor battery not to last 3 years if it's nearly new.

And let's face it, Ral wipes his arse with £50 notes.

Hence the need for Vaseline.

Seriously though I recently paid £230 for a new starter battery,
So it all depending on the battery £50 could be a bargain, only time will tell
