well after 6 or is it 7 years of trouble free motoring ( apart from fuel pump) the uno didnt go yesterday morning, jump leads out and away she went, i cant believe that the second hand battery of an old alfa lasted all this time, so treated her to a 4 year guarantee bosch, cant have the misses ringing in my ear, anyone else had the battery go down, first freeze it will rear its head, Ant!

General new battery
LOL, good story. 
Would we expect anything less from an Alfa Romeo-fitted battery?
My Uno has the original Magneti Marelli battery out of my Stilo. The Stilo was giving spurious warnings - anything less than 12.5 volts and systems get confused. I took the three-year-old battery out and gave it a top-up (prying off the one-piece cap) and a proper charge, but the green indicator stayed black. So I put it in the Uno and bought a new battery for the Stilo.
Four years later the Uno still starts even after months of disuse... really surprising...
