Cheers Derek, still planning to get it checked out.

Just get a new Batt it will save a lot of hassel and you get a 2 year warranty
on it from BMW or 3 years if you buy 1 from Halfords

does that standard M3 battery fit the CSL? Thought I read somewhere that it is more "juicy" and fits straight in ??

BMW batt is about £80
As for the m3 batt fiting the CSL yes it does but might upset
the handeling as it is bigger

Thanks Mark....

'fits straight in' - why are they a pain in the arse to fit then.

My CSL has a standard battery, fits straight in.

No point farting about with dead batteries if you have no access to a trickle charger!
