Until this morning I have had an NRMA battery in the Spirit and it was showing signs of failure so I replaced it with a German-made Bosch. The remarkable change is that the motor idles more smoothly and the electrics run better - the fan speed is higher and the windows quicker. The explanation from the auto-electrician is that the output from the NRMA battery was marginal despite being the correct nominal rating.
Fair enough - I did not expect such a measurable improvement in engine idle!!!
Food for thought. R-R and Bentley recommend only 2 battery brands: Bosch and Yuasa (Century in Oz). Now I know why.
The battery in my ML is now 10 years old and going strong - batteries ain't batteries apparently.
