 Toyota Yaris II/Vitz - Dead battery - smokie
Although she's been driving for many years she isn't a confident driver. More so, she is worried that, as my car is a bit bigger (MG5 EV, a modest size estate), and is near new, she might knock it. Tbh I don't care too much about my cars looking pristine, and it's insured anyway, but she won't even give it a go. I also think some of the technology in it fazes her a bit, though a lot of the "driver aids" can be turned off. She has always been the same though, even with earlier cars. Except one Rover 827 Sterling which she loved driving.


Anyways - no leaks found and the battery is back in the car. Went for a long spin, and left the back seat off so I can easily measure it every day. The credit card is primed and ready in case a replacement is required but reading those threads it seems a common problem - the car stood for nearly 7 weeks during March. It's probably permanently damaged the battery but we'll see.

Thanks for the tips and links everyone!! :-) (But I'm yet to read the Toyota forum ones thoroughly!)

Now, what can I dick around with next? LOL


EDIT: Tayna came up with nothing, based on measurements (190 x 130 x 200) ... surprised me!
