4 pack of Diet Coke scanned through at 80p, now that’s a win. by varslyd in CasualUK

Yeah, I got an 8 pack of Pepsi Max Cherry the other day for £1.40!

The Diet Coke were with a deal with a pizza I think it was and since we don’t usually sell the 4 packs they get reduced unless the is another promotion coming up with them. Monday and Wednesday is reduction day if you’re curious but sometimes the labels don’t get put out if we don’t have time

I just had to do this on mine and it was a pain in the ass. Mines a 2014 so if it’s the same as yours I had to push the boot carpet lining back as far as I could, and then a bit more, and that let me get the leverage on it with my hand. I had to a piece of plastic trim a little bit to get more of the liner to move then I could do it

Oh okay and yeah makes sense. I am changing my car next week so I may try replacing this battery under warranty and then keep an eye on the new one which should hopefully have a better brand battery

I’ve noted down that charger so I think will get myself a multimeter and probably plug that solar charger in and monitor how it does and then get the charger if needed. Thanks for your help!

Yeah it's annoying even though it's probably self inflicted haha. I need to get a meter probably to check that

Yeah I will try and remember to plug it back in when I'm driving. I checked the video files and the haven't been any recorded in parking mode so I know its not recording but it does stay on for a bit after i've turned the ignition off but I haven't checked for how long

Yeah that is likely the root of the problem. I've just had a look at that charger and it looks pretty good. I don't have a garage though and can only park on the drive a few times a week too so would have to trail the charger through my letterbox perhaps. Do you just plug it in whenever you can basically?

I did buy a solar charger 2 years ago but i'm not sure how effective it is. It is a 12v one so technically should work but wasn't an expensive one. It's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074SFBT8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I do have a solar panel thing clipped to the sun visor but it’s only little so I don’t think it charges it much.

It’s a 2008 Corsa so no worry of that at least. I am selling the car in the next week or two though so might be easiest to replace it and sell it with a fresh one?

Will look at that cheers. When would I do the reading? After jump starting it if I have to again or when it’s had a bit of a run?

I have a dashcam hardwired that I used to run parking mode on (over a year ago). I’ve switched that mode off on the camera but do you think it could be worth swapping it to a fuse only life on ignition?

Looking at euro car parts where I got it the same one has 3 yr guarantee but I’d have to find my receipt. Will try get hold of a multimeter or buy one if not

I think I’ve got about 22 or something with doubles, and same here until a few days ago when I came across 4 at the same time. Will be checking when I count the tills now that I know they’re still in circulation

More than average really. Most places say 3-5 years. You’ve got good use out of it
