Had a new battery fitted, and wow  :scared: the increase in power is incredible.

Cant figure out why ? reset of possible error codes in the ECU ?

Does the throttle body realign when you disconnect the battery?  Perhaps it wasn't fully opening previously.

Maybe if it was completely knackered then the alternator would have been working overtime to charge it. Like driving round with all your electrical systems on at the same time, all the time (heated windows etc)

You would notice the difference there  :happy2:
