Mouldy car

Stephen

Well I thought I best sort my car out, it’s been sat since August.. battery is clearly dead. But it’s a new battery so a quick charge.

3 flat tyres :-( all 4 are new.

now for the best part,. Green algee on the carpets and mats, white mould splotches all over the seats, seats belts etc.. oh mannnnn

  • If the battery is actually flat, chances are it'll need replaced.  IIRC less than 6 volts means it's toast.  Best to disconnect the battery if a car isn't going to be used for a while, ideally you'd want to hook it up to a trickle charger as well.  The mould should scrub out with upholstery cleaner and elbow grease.

    Having said that, I'm in the same boat lol.  Got two vans that have been sitting virtually unused for the last two years.  So that'll be a fair few quid in batteries alone.
