That's what i thought as its not got an ECU , nothing apart from a radio alternator and 2 batteries . its a 1996 DEF not a nice new one with electric gizmos . I have disconnected them to be safe . My idea was to charge via the Anderson socket on the seat box , then there would be no reason to...

Do you need to disconnect the battery when charging ? . I've a twin batt setup and its a pain to disconnect otherwise I would as a rule

Fitted Bearmach standard rear springs + Terifirma all terrain shocks and really happy with the setup , firm but not spine jerking . Shocks were goosed totally so perhaps could of used the old shocks , but i didn't know what they were . soon as the fronts turn up i will get them fitted .

I may go for some progressive if these don't work . But i needed a base line so i know if i need progressive , light load , HD or whatever . The old ones are just so rusty there's no way to tell what they are .

Im hoping it will improve it , and by what you say it should make a huge difference, im sure it cant make it worse . Im Fitting new shocks also . Im hoping the fronts will turn up tomorrow so then i can do both ends at once . The fronts are UKM from Bearmach , i didn't realise they did two...

Wow what a difference , looks like I'm getting a lift if I want one or not lol . Thanks everyone at least I know what to expect , so if old ones are Standard they are ready to be changed , Just hope the new soften the ride and not make it worse .

Thanks , yes new are correct to the chart colour and size

New ones are Bearmach blue/red and yellow/white standard height not HD , old ones anyone guess really

I did think the rears were HD as the ride is so harsh and the owner before me (i was told) ? Towed her pony around Nutley stable to field .

A 120mm difference , how much will they compress when fitted , roughly ,, New are Standard old no idea ,no markings etc

Sorry I put 380 on the van , THEY are 280 and out the box New are 400

I have some new springs to go on my 90 . Just measured the old ones that are still fitted and are 280mm , The new ones to go on standard height are 400mm . That's 5 inches taller in English ok not fitted . Will they compress that much , or are the old ones totally goosed , and the new ones will...

I will let him get on with it certainly , He is getting the paint , think he still has contacts . I know his wife and it recently came up that he can spray etc . I just as Batman1 has done , googling and i also found it was a bit confusing , but that matte is not very durable and needed a clear...

If you would please , thankyou

Hi im getting my DEF roof painted matt black . Now the chap said when i asked about spraying a clear coat he said he had never clear coated matt . Now i know you can get 2K clear especially for matt , i even have a 2K rattle can of matt clear . So is this new to clear coat matt , or is there...

Funnily that's what ive just started .

Ta for that folks ..Think this DEF is out to get me ... . Im not holding it on full lock for long , just when your manoeuvring and go on full lock momentarily , and know your there but can hear the by-pass . No more than the recommended bleed sequence say to hold for , far less in fact . yep...

Hi I've just changed my power steering pump and its working fine . But i can't say I noticed to making any noise before , but now it's obvious its working when under load or on by-pass on full lock , as hydraulics do i.e. on plant etc . Now this may well be because I'm listening , where as...

Didn't know they were the same . Not a bad price cheers .

Bosch it is , thanks .
