Was going to get some fags, hopped in the Mondeo and the battery was flat!? atleast I hope its the battery.
So, I got in the Mini, I havent driven it in about 3 weeks so it needed some WD40 on the dizzy but it roared into life, good reliable Mini.
I only went to the shop 1/4 mile away and it overheated and blew the water out.
Sprint isnt MOTd so I now have 3 cars that dont work.

I seriously doubt it!

Anyway, that's odd, was a hose frozen and blocked stopping the water circulating?

Should have walked, lazy bugger, LOL

Cold temperatures really do hammer a marginal battery so hopefully a new one will have you back up and running. Go and blag yourself a Halfords trade card, then buy one of their 4 year guarantee jobs whilst saving about 30% of the shelf price, jobs a goodun!

Think the battery must be fooked as it only took 1/2 hour to show fully charged.

It looks like the rad on the Mini has a hole, it must have frozen solid

You can use the hot water out of the mini, it seems it was anti-freeze free!! Yum

Modern batteries just die, no warning. Had this happen to me twice. Get to the job no problem, get back in the car to go home (always when you are miles away from home) and absolutely nothing works, not even the radio. One cell dies and the battery is history.

so much for modern technology

The liftime gauantee means nothing in reality as the gaurantee is exponentialy reduced over the 'life' of the battery, the life being 3, 4 or 5years with modern batteries.

I phoned Halfords and Motor Serv for prices.
I went with Motor Serv as they checked my charging system for me at idle, 3,000rpm and with full loads on the battery (everything switched on ie aircon, heated seats, radio etc)
£78 - same price as Halfords with trade discount.

I seriously doubt it!
