    So how does that work then?

    The phone may be on but if the car is off then there's nothing for the phone to interact with, ie, no Bluetooth, wifi or anything else for the phone to have a connection with.

    All I can say is that the phone left in the on position in the cradle will drain the Battery. Once I took the phone off the cradle problem with drained Battery stopped and its never been a problem since.

    Update: returned the battery to Halfords, who don't have a replacement in stock and can't order one - they just arrive when they arrive.  They checked mine and said it was fine anyway, but offered to keep it on charge to double-check.  Apparently they can tell whether a cell is faulty even though the charge stays high.

    When I went to collect it today the young man who served me had the sense to check it again first, and he discovered it wasn't holding its charge as it should.  Would I like my money back or wait until a new one appears from somewhere?  My mechanic says he can get me one, so I got my money back.  If nothing else, I've had 18 months of free battery power.  Hopefully the new one will sort everything.

    Are you leaving your phone switched on all night while its parked up, I had the same problem a few years back and it was because of leaving the phone switched on.

  3. Some people dread the day the car has to have an MOT but I always leave her in the village garage and go home full of optimism that she will pass and sure enough she does. a few advisories,  

    • Oil leak, but not excessive (8.4.1 (a) (i))
    • under trays fitted.
    • Rear Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
    • Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e))
    • Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e))
    • Nearside Front Lower Suspension component ball joint has slight play (5.3.4 (a) (i))
    • Offside Front Lower Suspension component ball joint has slight play (5.3.4 (a) (i))
    • Offside Front Wheel bearing has slight play (5.1.3 (a) (i))

    Another year of smiles, off too Nantwich Friday to pick up her replacement bumper.
