The only time it played up after a run was on a visit to Doc's so should have been well charged by then, Doc thought it may have been a bad earth but all seemed good afterwards, in fact once started it hasn't played up since until today.
Today **** it didn't want to turn over and the solenoid started chattering. Is it stuck? Whacked it! No change.

Checked battery volts , about 10, not good, put it on an 8amp charger. 6 hours later measured 13.5 and tried to start and same situation.
Maintenance free battery but under the label were the screw tops so checked electrolyte - all levels OK. Got out my hydrometer that I hadn't used for years and checked cells - all half charge except for cell next to +terminal that was deep red!!!
Put it back on a trickle charge but suspect new battery needed. Bloody GSF prices £62.50+vat, Euro @ £48.12, or off net at £31.99 delivered.
Anyone got any recommendations as to where to buy or other helpful hints?
