Hi chaps

Just a quick message ive undo the bolts and hose . Im now wondering does the left hand hose that goes through to the dash board connect to the top of the heater matrix and the right hand hose connects at the bottom of the matrix heater and goes to the engine block?? Hope this is right dont wanna tighten the bolt until ino it's correct. Hope this makes sense

But Tayna do. Not a rip off charge either. It does fit easily and the leads will reach, trust me!
Replaced the rf receiver months ago but hadn't replaced the battery which was getting worryingly lethargic. All sorted for the winter proper now. £121 delivered.

Early leads may struggle, leads Negative to ground and positive to fuse box were changed for longer ones when this style of battery was introduced.

Yeah fine as long as it has longer leads fitted.

It wasn't a piece of cake but with care it is possible. A good idea to loosely refit the battery retainer before connecting the leads. Live and learn!

i'm not totally convinced that the battery above isn't marine cca.. so about 800ish cca. still more than what's needed so will be fine.

The more cca the better from what I've read on here. I've had to make more short journeys than I've really wanted to recently but with the help of my solar this battery is performing fine.
