  7. Hi Michael, Sorry can I ask please do you mean connect negative to positive? if so answer is no connect negative to negative / positive to positive. here is how best to charge a battery Even if you jump start as a quick fix, it's a good idea to look into charging a car battery properly to keep it in good condition. Find out how below. How to recharge a car battery Check what kind of battery your vehicle has.If your car has start/stop technology, you'll have an AGM or EFB battery. A conventional charger isn’t suitable for these types of batteries and you’ll need a 'smart' charger instead. If you're not sure what kind of charger your battery might need, pop into one of our stores and we can help you out. Check the contacts. Before you connect anything, take a look at the lead terminals coming out of the top of your battery, and the clamps that connect them. If they look dirty or corroded, you'll need to clean them before charging your battery. Disconnect your car battery. Although charging a car battery while still connected or in situ is possible, it's always a good idea to disconnect the battery before charging after a quick clean. Always disconnect the negative (usually black) lead first and reconnect it last, otherwise you could end up getting a nasty shock when you touch the positive terminal. The terminals are usually connected to the battery by a clamp, which is loosened or tightened by a bolt on the side. Undo the terminals (negative first, remember!) and move them to one side. Plus, remember that if you disconnect your car battery, you might need to reset your radio, seat positions and dashboard settings, so make sure you've got the security codes if you need them! Connect the charger. Keep the charger as far from the battery as the cables will allow, and never leave the charger on top of the battery while it's charging! Connect the clamps of the charger to the terminals on the battery, matching positive to positive and negative to negative. Then, plug the charger in. Turn on the charger. Some chargers will turn off automatically when the battery is charged, but others will need to be disconnected. Check the manual for your individual charger to find out how long it will take and what you need to do. The other option is to invest in a smart battery charger, which will assess the condition of the battery and tailor the charge cycle to fit, automatically switching to a maintenance charge rather than over-charging the battery. You're done! Once the battery is charged, unplug the charger and then disconnect the clamps. Then, reconnect the car battery (positive first and negative last, remember!) and away you go! If you're using a smart charger, there will be an indicator to show you when the battery is charged. Things to remember Charging your battery is really simple, but batteries can give off hydrogen gas while they're being charged - especially if they're being charged at a higher voltage by a fast charger. Keep the charger away from the battery, and make sure you don't leave anything on top of the battery.
  8. Hi Rae, Just read this if it helps Sometimes, a malfunctioning or misadjusted transmission range switch can also cause the vehicle not to start in Park, but to start in Neutral. An electrical problem with the transmission range switch connector or wiring can also cause the same problem. ... A bad transmission range (position) switch must be replaced. Can you start it in Neutral? If you are in “Park” position and the display on the dash still says “R,” there is a linkage issue or a bad shifter position sensor. If the transmission is in park, but the car thinks it's in reverse, it's fairly easy to fix
  9. Hi Mark, Hope you are keeping well also. I do not know Hull well but one that may be worth looking at possibly to see what they offer is Jagutech HU13 9LX They seem to have very good reviews. Kind Regards, Julie.

  12. Yep know the feeling🤣 Feel your standing still. I really think on motorways it should be like the parts of the Autobahn with no speed limit (only advisory) so we can really test our cars out!
  13. Hi Big M, May be it s not a great MPG, but If it feels good and sounds good that`s a reason to smile😄 ( and 29.3 is better than my Jeep Cherokee!) Best, Julie.
  14. Hi John, I quite like Bosch, a good reliable make. Auto express rated them top here are top 3 Bosch Aerotwin Aerowiper Michelin Stealth Hybrid
  15. Hi Benjamin, The X350 is a luxurious good looking car, I think that`s a good choice. When your family has grown a little, and they grow up fast, may be then look at something else if you still feel you would like a change. If looking at cars I would advise getting RAC / AA inspection even at a dealer its really worth the money. Unless you are a bit more mechanically minded than I am , still learning. I would always have inspection as had trouble in past. Kind Regards, Julie.
