Hello everyone.
We bought a 1999 Autotrail Cheyenne last year and haven’t really been anywhere thanks to the lovely virus!! Went to start engine yesterday and battery was flat. Got the RAC out. Under the battery where the engine battery should be was a Halfords 1100 leisure battery. It was definitely being used as engine starter as it was attached to starter motor and was also used for the inside electrics. He couldn’t test it because he couldn’t get it out and didn’t have the right kit. but suggested I buy they same battery. Everything I’ve read said you can’t use leisure for starting but he said it was fine if it’s been working up to now. Haven’t got a clue what to do!!! Any thought please???
