The club is undergoing a big upgrade at the moment, there may be a few things not quite right for a day or two.

Battery issues or something else, no garage willing to help in Cardiff

Hiya, I have an imported Alphard tribrid eco camper. Suddenly it has developed what looks like a battery problem, the 'lego brick' display (yep it's a woman typing) shows the battery charge regularly dropping down to 1 bar, if I switch off engine it requires jump-start, if I let it charge to 3 bars then no problems. I have no warning lights, the battery drops down dramatically when reversing and power delayed if I put my foot down to overtake.  

Can't find a garage in Cardiff that has diagnostic equipment for Japanese import. 

Getting desperate as need reliable vehicle to take hubby for chemo.
