    will parts to diy jag v8 w/ 8 speed ZF auto ever trickle down?

    was not thinking you necessarily need the 400bhp or a supercharged (expensive) one. The engine has been around since 1999 in 250+ bhp

    will parts to diy jag v8 w/ 8 speed ZF auto ever trickle down?

    anyone have any thoughts on if and when the parts to shoe horn the jag v8 and the ZF 8(?) speed auto of the 150 factory V8 rebuilds will ever trickle down to mere mortals without £150k to spend on a reworked factory reworks...

    Lithium battery vs lead acid for starters ;)

    the alternator is fine, I do not know if they re trying to sell another charger, or the many cycles and oddities of lead acid chargers is no likely by other batteries, could also be a voltage issue in terms of wall chargers??? from what I can see so far the lifepo4 battery recovers its voltage...

    Lithium battery vs lead acid for starters ;)

    I am not sure of many of these arguments, which I have considered and always willing to reconsider, however my present thoughts against lead-acid and your points are 1) the huge amounts of lead needed to get the same battery density vs lithium, which greatly sways the extraction, transport and...

    Avon Ranger 265 75 16 M+S actually in snow

    Bit of a noob question... and cannae see anything in "snow tyres" searches after 2015 in this thread; given all weather tyres have come on in leaps and bounds in last 2 years, and it did snow properly for first time in ages last years I thought I would bring this up, so to speak, so: ...my 110...

    daylight running lights (DRL) trailer light on

    Glad to know its not just me. The paddock ones look identical to the Amazon ones tbh, I nearly got those instead, just was in a hurry and nobody at home and Amazon delivery is easier to manage than DPD, royal mail, etc in those circumstances.Turned out to be a nightmare as there were some parts...

    Ah, just remembered also, their 20ah equivalent only claimed 200cca, so would have needed in theory a much more expensive 50ah or more and the price got silly. The one I got in original post claimed a massive 630cca from a 20ah battery, which is key!
