Auto Electrician

[tino]

Anyone know of a good auto electrician in the west/east Lothian area. Having the old problem of rapid battery draining. New battery dead within a couple of weeks. Looking for someone with car alarm,imobiliser and tracker experience as these have been suspects in other cases.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

I might have the dude's number that fitted my tracker. If not speak with Gregor, I gave him the number when he got his wagon.

PS - How's the car going (except for the battery issue)

For future reference had a chat with these guys

Came highly recomended by a couple of friend at work. (not forgetting thanks to oobster for his reply )

My battery went flat in about 2 weeks, it turns out that with the battery drain of a CAT 1 alarm and a Tracker this is not unusual.

Not sure about the calculations but

CAT 1 alarm @ 150-200mA

Tracker @ 100-150mA

Battery @ 65-75A

Drains in about 10-14 days

Think I'll buy a second battery and swap it every week whilst I'm not using the car.

Tino, good to know that. If I'm ever away on Holiday and it doesn't fire up I'll know the first thing to check.
