But, why bother? I’d understand it if the 2nd battery was a leisure battery being used to run additional circuits, eg when camping and wanting outside lights, air compressors, etc but why have it as a backup for the main battery unless you are on safari and it’s a ‘just in case’ scenario because Halfords is a long way from Belize?I thinks it's pretty much the same as mine with the relay energised by a switched live from the main battery. Not sure what voltage/current a relay needs to energise but I would guess it's not much.
Agreed. Don't know if all model years are the same but I read that it's a 40A cable feeding the rear fuse box so I'd say something may well pop if trying to jump start from it.
I put a 20A solar panel regulator in to limit current draw to second battery and protect from reverse current if the main battery is low. I also carry a long pair of jump leads so I can jump from the second battery but haven't had to use them............yet.
And all red wires
The reason I did it was because I upgraded to a bigger battery so ended up with a spare that was sat there doing nowt. I have an auxiliary panel in the boot that I put in for days out at the beach though upto now I've only used it to charge a phone and an ecig.
Surely a jump pack would be a better job in that scenario?

A couple of my 4 x 4's had 2 batteries. One used just for cranking, the other supplying all the electrickery, it meant that even if lights were left on accidentally for example, it was always possible to start.
Ideally you'd want to separate the circuits so the accessories don't touch the cranking batt and vice versa.. not easy to do
I dont know the real answer. but why do you ask?
We went down to 19 from 20 for the extra sidewall (roads are great here
) but its a tight fit with the calipers.I do know the wheel nuts changed so wheels would have too

My 38 came on 19" l322 wheels.. if i end up getting an l322 then I'd take the 20s off and use the 19s with more sidewall like you say..I dont know the real answer. but why do you ask?

Will it beep every beeping second beep?
No. It will just give a message which you ok and it goes away until the next restart after driving 10mins ish

Did you get forced to feed it super plus anorl?Put some petrol in the p38.. took it for a blast
No, they had run out of that

Actually very easy to do at the design stage. Not quite so easy as an afterthought.

this actually made me chuckle after a pretty rubbish week, thanks!
