it will be the batteries, i got one of them with some screwfix vouchers last year, both batteries had packed up within 6 months, luckily i just got my money back off screwfix and got a bosch, (loads better), heard of numerous problems with the makita bagtteries though, where did you get it from?

I had the exact same problem with my drill, I took it straight back to screwfix after 10 months of having it and they exchanged it for a complete brand new drill. Not had any problems since and happy with it.

Makita a normally pretty good, if you ring them and explain the problem then they will prob replace for you with no hesitation.
