I had my first breakdown in 35 years yesterday. I drove a 8 mile trip with the usual auto start stop warning on despite battery is only 2yrs old. I went into a shop came out pushed the button it struggled to turn over. After a few attempts battery had barley enough tp power the lights. My missus came out and we tried jump leads from her Jazz. Not much to do, I borrowed her car and went to Halfords. I showed them battery receipt 2yrs and a few days old 700 cranking amps. Told them the storey and ashed to borrow a booster starter. They obliged and gave me a N0C0 Boost HD 2000a unit. I went back to my car connected it but it just turned over slowly. I the hit the extra power button and it fired up. We tested to charging at idling voltage 14.4V so we knew it should have been charging fine. Battery tester said all good but this last week I've done 204 miles with just 2 short 4 mile trips to the shops. Even though the fella said unit was showing in good condition 470cA it might be dodgy. I've not been out today to test it but will be getting a new battery on guarantee when I do.

I too was bumped in a car park but luckily the owner who's cars handbrake slipped and rolled into mine left her real number and was happy to pay for the damage. Thinking on about this my family have said they are getting me a font and rear dashcam for fathers day in case it happens again with a not so honest owner. I have a lot of pain in my back from disc problems even looking at the fuse box to see where a piggyback fuse could fit and an earthing point for a few minutes did me in for the rest of the day. I have a 2016 Crv 1.6 d ex. Can anybody tell me a fuse number that would provide 24/7 power to the dashcam so motion sensors would record any possible future bumps. I need to get in and out of the footwell as quick as possible to save my back any more pain than normal.

Min is a 2016 1.6d ex manual. Mine seems to average out at 47-48mpg with most of than on M roads. With the stupid 20mph in my local area it plummets to about 35mpg.
