[Tilly2]

Thanks for asking, Minty. x

What's a tickle changer?

///Have you tried starting it in 2nd gear with your foot down on the clutch (obviousy!)?///

How does that work then when, Quote, It's as dead as a Dodo?

[murraymints]

When I tie you up and make demands to stop tickling you Togo !

[Tilly2]

Can anyone recommend a trickle charger?

[Tilly2]

Togo, I had to look back to make sure that I hadn't written 'tickle changer'!

Hello Tilly!

I think we're harking back to the days before fuel injection and real electronics, Baldric.

Halfords own brand tickle changer are OK and quite reasonable.

[Tilly2]

Hello, Shoota!

When the battery is dead, nothing works does it? Key fob, handbrake, nowt!

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Minty and Shoota.

[Togo]

Haha .....new batteries for the "tickle changer" then . :))

[Tilly2]

I think I'll try Halfords and put on a dotty lady hat. Then one of the nice lads there will show me what to do .

[Tilly2]

I'm going to go in and ask for a tickle changer and see what the reaction is. :-)

[Tilly2]

..that and the hat should do it...

[shoota]

If I remember right, they do a trickle only charger for about £20 and a bigger machine that will charge up a flat battery and then switch to trickle mode for a tenner or so more.

hi tilly i'd just get a brand new battery put in

[Tilly2]

Andy the AA man said I should be able to get one for £20-£30 so that's a good recommendation Shoota. Thanks.
