Drove to work, stopped at the gas bar for coffe and paper. Gor back in and no go, dead, no click, just dim and rapidly dimmer dash lights.
Called CAA and waited 10 minutes. The guy pulled out a fancy battery tester, and confirmed that my battery had gone, then pulled out a battery and installed it. $117.00. No labour charge, that's part of the CAA membership. I was quit ehappy, only delayed 45 minutes.
While calling the CAA, wife calls on cell phone with the van having a burning rubber bad smell, seems like a drive belt went on it.
Sure could have used that fine luck on something like Lotto 649. Oh Well, cheap fixes and am hppy now.
