Tested it again yestarday after putting hazard lights on for a few minutes (without engine running) the voltage dropped from 12.5 to 11.5, and resulted in solenoid clicking on first attempt to fire up. It did start after this but obviously on its way out, so as Farmer Giles says, French battery would cost a lot more.
So I have just bought one from Europarts, a Lion battery, £46.00 so will fit it tommorrow. (The cheapest Yausa I could get was £70 on the internet, but didn't want hassle of delivery over BH weekend)
Roll on France next Friday ..yipeee
Thanks for all the posts guys, much appreciated.
