Ok, been working on the car all day, fitting a steering column. Got that job done and then started the car, and checked the steering was all true and tight. Then gave it a wash/wax and went to go out for a drive and the battery was completely flat!!
Tried jump starting it off another car and when i connected the leads up, both cars +VE battery terminals gave a shower of sparks and mine have practically melted, so i quickly took them off and tried again later, only to get the same result - a shower of sparks, burning smell and my +VE terminal is now blackened!! What the hell is that all about - ive never seen it happen before :? Didnt leave the leads on cos it looked like a fire was about to start...
