Glad it's sorted.

Seems it's set to lead acid already.

Morning Gary, I will check the settings on it to see what battery type it's set to. I'm guessing something is wrong because I went out in it yesterday & before I started it the BMS was reading 41% & I was expecting the worst as the overnight temperature had dropped to 3 degrees but it just...

Whoops how did I miss that:vb-groan2:cheers.

Did the new switch fix the op's original problem (just to help others in the same situation) ?

Hi, I think it was reading about 44% on Sunday when I set off for Goodwood & went fine for the 200 mile round trip but I'll have a better look at the weekend. I use a USB charging thing in the fag lighter which has a built-in volt meter, which was showing the same as my MM 14.2 volts eng...

Hi, I haven't yet probably a weekend job now🙂.

I haven't had a chance to swap batteries yet but 24 hrs later & the truck hasn't been opened or used it's now down to this ! I know it will start 1st time even if I leave it a week, so as you say I'm not overly worried yet as it's still reasonably mild but I know the cold weather will soon...

Thanks guys, I'll put the 'spare' on just so I can keep it locked/immobilised & do as you say.

Hi all, has anyone fitted one of the Sealey battery monitoring devices (to any vehicle) ? I fitted one a few weeks back & it tells me my D2 battery is losing about 22% of it charge overnight e.g went the Goodwood Revival Sunday & got back about 19.00 & as you would expect the app on my phone for...

Hi, use the Meyle HD ones or genuine.

Hi, yeah you can just twist the white plastic insert until the dots align, just make sure you put it on the shaft square (you shouldn't have to force it). I did find on ebay a place in Clacton that refurbs the switches for £60-70ish as long as it has been taken apart before. Hope this cures your...

Hi, in my experience, in fitted a s/hand replacement switch, I just went by the witness marks left by the bolts as a guide but it worked perfectly without further adjustment. I would just fit it & see if it works, there is only a very small amount of adjustment on the switches so it won't take...

If it's the one circled in the pic, I put that jubilee clip round the hose.

Hi, the hoses tend to go like plastic after years of getting hot & cold so they sometimes won't seal properly so could be worth replacing it. I would have just blanked the egr valve (but not thrown it away, for mot purposes 😉) as it stops all that gunge accumulating in the manifold.

Hi, didn't read it all properly🙄, tested + for chinky flu yesterday (1st time) & on me birthday anorl bastids. Yes the seals pop out very easy I just use a small flat bladed screwdriver,watch size. Once you lever the first bit up the run the s/driver round so as not to bend the rubber seal &...

Hi ya, I trust you're keep well, it was this stuff, grease meant for high load (wheel bearings) etc.

FAG are indeed the original bearings used in the GKN hangers (see pic). To check the the ones you have you can just prize the rubber seal out, these were 'after market' ones that lasted a few months, as you can see they had zero grease in them from new so the replacements a got I packed with...

I don't know for sure but do twisted wires make for easy identification of the speaker wiring in vehicles ? (It would be a good idea in my book if it does).

Hi Keith,it might be worth trying to find out where the break is. I don't know how much of the insulation is visable but I would use a pin to pierce the insulation to check for continuity, say every inch, you may get lucky, if not I would just run a new wire (possibly connecting the new wire to...
