Hi all,
So I went out to go to the shops today only to find the battery had gone flat on my Land Rover. Not just flat but kaput; only showing 9V under the slightest load. I wasn't worried 'cos I have a spare battery that came out of a V12 Jag. But when I hooked it up, I was amazed to discover that despite being fully charged and only weeks old, it barely had the guts to turn the Landy over *really* slowly and not fast enough to fire up. So the question is, how come a battery that can spin over a V12 5.3 litre engine like a top struggle so much to turn over a 2.4 litre diesel 5 cylinder engine??
