Yeah, bite the bullet. Batteries are nowhere near as big a deal as they used to be, a top of he range Bosch didn't cost much more than 30 quid last time I got one.

If it isnt snapped up I'll take it off your hands and give you some dough for it mate, Should have thought about this when Gary picked up the wheel, doh!
