This one for the Cougar owners.
Last night I came out of the office and my cat woudn't start, this is after driving it that afternoon.
Eventually I work out that I have a flat battery so I call the NRMA and the guy advises me that the battery is stuffed and guess what I need a new one :1syellow1 :1syellow1
: . So $190.00 dollars later I finally get on my way.
Nothing unusual about that you say, but what is interesting is the following.
The battery was the original so was over six years old (my build date is Feb 2000). :voldar02:
For last two weeks every time I have started the car the central locking system gave an audible "click" but the car still started fine.
Yesterday when I tried to start it the central locking system went haywire and was continually trying to lock the doors for about five minutes before stopping. :1syellow1 :1syellow1

So one of the key indicators for future battery trouble is if you hear an audible click from your central locking then get your battery checked.
I discussed with the NRMA guy and he said it is a common indicator that "something" is going on with the battery.
Just though i did give you boys a tip. CYA !!!
