Useful video--thanks!

I stupidly managed to purchase a charger/conditioner of only 1.2amp output for my XKR which recently went flat just sitting in a warm garage, all systems static in so far as they can be. The battery (Vanta) looks pretty new. 1.2 amp charge to the 90 Ah battery would take 90 hrs to recharge from flat, somewhat excessive one might think! This was purchased from SNG Barratt as I believe was recommended by the JEC although I cannot now see the referral and nothing is listed in the JEC shop. The part number for Barratt's Accumate charger offering was SBS 1700UK and cost inc delivery £69.60. It will probably suffice as a trickle charger/conditioner for a vehicle just sitting idle.
XKR 2004 Coupe' in BRG, Ivory leather and traditional Jaguar walnut dash. Super bodily condition and window seals recently attended. Mechanically work completed with front sub-frame mounts and ball joints, suspension overhaul, AC renewal.
