Yeah, pretty much. The rest of the car can't act as a flywheel, at least when speeds are low. And this has only happened at low, ie sub 20mph, speeds.

It could also be the battery clamp was removed after the MoT perhaps to keep a better battery than the one in the car which should be an 027 or if it's the heavy duty, 096 but you will need a normal lead-acid only battery, not a "Calcium/Silver-Calcium" type as they're unlikely to charge properly.

Well, the MOT time wheels/ tyres were taken off for the PO's other 940, so I'm guessing there was some sort of battery faffaround too. Although the battery fitted seems healthy enough for now (of course, it'll only turn out to be a naff one dumped in come winter..). Which... I'd tell myself is fair enough, if they terminals had been done up properly and the smegging thing had a clamp stopping it rattling down there.
