Battery And Starting Problems

hi guys,

the mrs phoned saying the car wont start (i work away and wont be home until tuesday)she also said the doors wouldnt un lock or when she put the keys in the ignition, the start lights came on the 1st time then nothing. i got her to check the Battery terminals for tightness then try the ignition, and it started! stuck a multimeter on the batter and it read 14v on idle, so the Battery is charging. all was well for a few days then the same again, she wiggled the terminals and the thing fired up. Shes not mechanical but asked a guy at work who said the terminals are tight with no play. im suspecting its a dry/bad connection? bit of a coincidence that it worked both times? ill check it all over when i get home but wondered if theres anything i could be missing? ill replace the Battery in the key fob just encase.

could it be a battery fault? would it be best just getting a new battery? if so whats the best battery for the d4d? and best place to get it?

cheers

fred
