    True. TPD would have been a much longer rant with far more drivel.

    Details! Details!

        You know one can always fit a higher capacity battery, as long as it physically fits in the slot. I bought a lorry battery for my previous Jag and it worked fine.

            Sounds like you need one of these bad boys NOCO Boost Pro GB150 4000 Amp 12V UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter Car Jump Starter for Petrol and Diesel Engines up to 10L. I now have one in the boot of all three of my chronically unreliable cars!

            (I think you can buy a 10000 Amp one, for jump starting tanks and that kind of thing. But 4000 Amps should be enough to be going on with.)

            You'll also need a proper USB charger for it, such as a Sabrent 60W 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub + 3 Smart Charging Ports
            don't do it. I bought a jump starter from Amazon that seemed not very heavy but claimed to start big cars. It barely charged an iPad.

            This is what you want. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clarke-4000...2171047&sr=8-1

            Note that it weighs 17kg not 3.4kg. Weight is important in these things.
            See You Next Tuesday

              You might want to keep some of the juicy details back for the Xmas Special...

                That's the one of the ones my brother recommended

                    I'm surprised she didn't have one already. Maybe you've just been too shy to ask for it
