I think Bubba and Mike P are the only true mechanics on here  most of the rest of us have just been playing with our cars for years so have learnt a few things along the way  but their are a few spanner polishers out there.

with out seeing the  bit I haven't got a clue what tar type stuff you are on about lol

JUst out of interest I would get the  alternator checked for output voltage  to make sure its charging   and start saving for a new battery otherwise.

Glad its running again,funny how on modern cars a simple duff battery can cause so many problems

Well done. Keep an eye on the battery gauge, it should read 13-14 volts with the engine running. If it reads less than 12 the alternator is duff.

Well, typically my luck... Guess what?? It's now not working again!! Exactly the same thing as before, it will start just cuts out, it was fine for a bit so do you all think battery? Bubba has offered to come out as I'm only 5 mins away to check battery... Such a short lived moment of happiness!! :-(

Glad you seem to be getting somewhere, Bubba will sort you out  , or panic but make sure you have a box for him to stand on cause he's a short ass

Definately seems that the battery is toast

[Panic mechanic!]

Mip,

You're part of the family now

That's the best of Birties.....Helping damsels in distress 

What about some pics of the truck in the rides section.....not necessarily with yourself draped over the bonnet   

[Tank]

Im not currently working,and i am also very close,in Quinton,and am more than happy to help,and have a look for you.Im not an expert like the Bubmeister but i can at least see if its the battery or alternator at least

[Panic mechanic!]

Don't take it to Kwik fit!!!! you have more got chance of winning the lottery than them giving you the right battery!
 and like the other's say once you say Hi your more or less one of the family.
I should be going over to old hill tomorrow just down the road from you so if you have no luck send me a pm and I'll pop round and take a look.
I am not s much sid james more of a......no forget it I have already dug myself a big hole...

you can always trust a Birty Mipple
Your posts read with a similar level of stress mine were a couple of years ago, I joined Birty's and they still cant get rid of me!
a top bunch

don't forget to get a battery quote from the main dealer as they have surprised quite a few people in the past on their prices, kiwk fit and halfrauds can be more expensive
