Any way you can improvise to save time/money is a good policy. The wheelchair batteries must have a bit of grunt in them I suppose as they need it. Are they much the same size as car batteries, same connections as the cavy etc? Good to see the cavy back on the scene, it's alwaysa bit of a scunner to see the work ahead but once you start getting into it it doesn't seem so bad.

So I click on an 063 battery (although an 075 would have been better but more expensive).
And a fuel can.
Enter the discount code on their front screen
Message comes back "Some of your items are excluded from the discount".
Clicking on the 'further info' tab brings up a huge long list of generic items including 'batteries'.
Why advertise an online discount, and then exclude everything in the small print. A total scam if you ask me.
Rant over - lol.
I thought that I would try ECP as they are usually much better pricewise than Halfrauds.
But then I remember ECP don't always have the parts in store when you come to collect them.
UPDATE - Worst case scenario, I can get a decent sized wheelchair battery to get the car going.
It helps to work with powered wheelchairs.![]()
I have done it with the Cavalier before, when a battery has failed and the bank account has been all but empty.
