#4. Fit new battery - current one doesn't hold charge very well.
You can buy a Drop Tester from eBay for about £20 which is a cheap way of checking if a battery is good and saves replacing it just to find out!
It also saves the hassle of trying to find a local garage that will check it for you

Yep, that's what I kept doing when I started compiling my list.
Actually your point #1 has reminded me that there are some small scratches on my tank that I'd like to put some T-Cut on...

Lol - I don't check batteries with a load tester. It loads the battery too quickly, heating up the plates, which then distort and shed sulphate across the lower portion of the cell. The battery then won't take or hold a charge.
