430 Rough running = battery thank you!

I had to move my 430 last weekend for some repairs in the garage. Driving 50 metres/yards to its temporary accommodation, I noticed it was running poorly, felt like four cylinders/half the power. No warning signs lit.

Rather than panic though, I remembered what had been said on this forum, that a battery not optimally conditioned can lead to a car starting, but not running well. The electrics to the garage had failed for the last few days. Meaning the CTEK was off.

I hooked it up to its conditioner in its new temporary home, and today on moving it back, it ran perfectly.

So thank you everyone who pointed this out in various posts before, and hopefully emphasising it here will help anyone new to these cars understand that a battery may be fit enough to start the car, but I can still leave running problems. Not something I would’ve figured out myself.
