ok, my mum broke down as her battery died, aa man came jump started it, and she was on her way, BUT, as he did a test on the battery and alternator he said that it was the battery, so.. we got the jump start and headed to a halfords store they had a battery in stock and we paid for fitting from halfords, little acne covered dude comes out takes ages to actually get the old battery out finally gets the new one in, anyway we drive off down the road to get petrol and find a station fill up and all that, i pop the bonnet just to check he has done it ok, so here is what i see, the clamp holding the battery in place is hand tight i could move it with no effort. and the the battery leads were not even tightend at all with my little finger they came off both of them, in the end i hand to buy an adjustable spanner to get us on our 600 mile plus journey and finish the job myself, what i would like to know is what is the least and worse thing that could happen with very very loose battery terminal leads, as in we were driving down motorways afterwards if those leads had of come off what could have happened.. thanks
thanks for the abswers so far, but i had one that made me out to be arrogant or whatever, but im only slagging off the halfords people after the fact, when i went to buy the battery etc, i was friendly as fuck ok, its when u get down the road after u have paid someone to do a job that you get pissed off
