[QUOTE="ciklee, post: 697952, member: 22701"] I haven't fixed my gearbox yet, still saving up. Now wife wants to go holiday in HK before giving birth feb/mar next year, so I guess now gearbox has got to wait maybe even after delivery :dontknow: I did have my battery checked using some sort of battery-o-meter and it was giving an okay reading. I do not know how old is the battery. Checked all service records provided by previous owner(s) but couldn't find any receipt stating battery change. It could still be the original one from factory. Is there a way to check how old is the battery? Do batteries have some kind of date code printed on them like tires do? Maybe a battery change wouldn't hurt. If it doesn't solve the problem, at least I know of old is the new one :p Btw, how much did it cost you to change the battery? Did you get the AGM-type or normal lead acid ones? Mind sharing the brand and rating of the battery you got? Did you register or code the new battery?
