That's never a good omen at this time of year,
If I'm in and out of mine several times a day my battery often piles in as it struggles to power every bulb on the inside of the car !
About 8 in total
I've thought about replacing for LED's on the off chance they draw less power ?Only dead fish go with the Flow !

You could always bring Mrs dcm's car on Saturday, I'm sure we could tow it round.
Somehow I don't think I'm helping much.

If your off to Salisbury, it will be extremely wet, I was on the Plain 3 weeks ago, and puddles were deeper than I've ever seen there, and its rained a bit since.
Take your waders.
