Do you have warranty on your battery. Usually you get 3 odd years warranty.

Don't worry too much if the clocks do need replacing. You can get them secondhand really cheap.

I just bought a set to experiment with for Â£19 from a guy on UKPolos.

Oh... actually I remember seeing a dash on ebay yesterday. You might want to track it down.

i had a transporter do the same thing with a woring noise as it does this, I had to replace the clocks to sort the problem.
