If you do need a new battery amd can be arsed to cross the river, go to Auto Silencers in Tynemouth, where they will do a drop test on yours and only if necessary, sell you a new big capacity battery.

Speak with Dave or John first on 0191 257 6447, as they will not sell you anything that you don't need!

Welcome to the world of Landy ownership. I dont think I know of a Landrover that does not have a rounded bolt The factory fits specially softened ones.
