Batteries and reversing cameras

We had the same plight as yourself two years ago when both battery's died with in weeks of each other. We got the engine battery from our local motor factors and we bought the leisure battery in a hurry before we went to France from Halfords, this had a two year Guarantee, however in less than twelve months this died too, to make a long story short I couldn't find the receipt and chanced taking it back and with out any questions they lobbed another new one up on the counter and gave me a further two years Guarantee. I have a feeling that they are used to taking them back but fair play to them.

Thanks for these comments. The AA mechanic said, "If this was my vehicle, I'd put a new battery in her." He said that it looked like the alternator was okay. I've had the engine battery on the charger for 12 hours and it's still showing no power.
Any advice on the reversing camera?
Thanks

Thanks Willie, Im out in claudy so will goive you a shout. C

Yes - Hessy's reversing switch did stop working and when i replaced the swithc, it still is knackered.
I think it is the earth and i couldnt find it, as the step beeper is also not working, i am of the opinion that both are run of the same feed or earth. Any one know is this the case?

I ran two sets of lights under her sides and back end operated by a lit toggle switch on the dash when required and they are a good job.


I retrofitted a reversing camera out throught the leisure batttery breathing holes and under the carpets into the dash. I stuck in a switch beside the new reversing light switch to operate and mounted the screen above the stereo. Its great and worth it as i like to see whats behind me and just leave it on when driving.

Hope you get it sorted
