Help!!



My car battery has died and won't stay charged up.



I now need to buy a new battery.



Please can anyone tell me the best place to buy one in the Kyrenia area.



Many thanks in anticipation!

Try Pit Stop on the way to Catalkoy.

I had a new one not long ago and after shopping round bought mine at ' Pitstop ' on the main road from Ozankoy to Chatalkoy. Found that there was very little difference in price and am happy with the one I got and the service.

It may not be just a battery problem but an alternator problem. That needs to checked too.

Timothy - good point or even a slipping fan belt.

Yep. Pitstop or the auto electrician opposite Molly's cafe can check out things for you and they sell new batteries with a year guarantee I think.

I cant believe the price of batteries here so expensive. Sorry to say I did buy one over the dark side last year almost half the price.

Batteries do not last well here. It's the heat. We are on No. 3 in 8 years. Look on the bright side re. the cost, at least exhaust systems do last. Never had any problems with that as yet.
