Dead battery, a matter of time....

[X-cellent]

Well, I ve had a few of the dreaded "high Battery Discharge" warnings over the 20 months I've had this truck, but this morning got the full effect...just enough juice to light all the warning lights, turn on my stereo and headlights, but then when i tried to start it.... dead as Kelsey's nuts. Took about half an hour of charge from my wife's car to get her to roll over, then had a whole world of colors and failures flashing on my dash.

I was worreid she wouldn't start at all and the first thing I did was open the glovebox to get the manual out (brake/gear tool lives in my door pocket) as I was worried she'd have to be towed to the dealer (as was my neighbors E70).

Called the dealer (on hold for 20 minutes so I was pulling in as my SA picked up the phone)..we'll see what they say, sure I'll be scolded for not driving her enough!

Oddly enough, i also had a service notice pop up last week for brake fluid level (i know it's totally unrelated) so i guess at 18k miles I've worn the pads low enough to drop the leve, so they'll take core of it all at once...

So for now I'm in my HOT HOT HOT, Pontiac Vibe!!!! 28k miles and smells like a dirty old dog!
