?? Ive not come acrross what was fitted as standard, only the min cca

yeah fitted and firing up no probs. Standing @ 12.59 volts Ticking over @ 14.05 volts Not that cold today tho, the test will be the next freeze Cheers for all the input lads

Yes it was a Numax CXV.Lost the paperwork so guarantee is not a lot of use Got one of these now Bosch S5 Battery 075 5 Year Guarantee

Bastids, tis only a year old !:mad: ****ing Numax Lesiure battery = not fit for purpose, deep cycle concerns were correct...still may be good for caravan tho (along with nipple electrolizer)

voltage at battery fitting : 11.6 when starting voltage drops to 5.7 to 6.9 and is fairly slow and pathetic (Noticed a buzzing noise when key is half turned, is that normal ?) Took battery out (never started) voltage = 11.5 charging in shed voltage 11.59 atm I am charging it with quite a ****y...

Tried that, made no diffrenece Plugs or fubar starter motor im guessing Feels like something is draining that battery tho Should be fine after a 19 hr charge. Il investigate with the multimeter

Cheers Changed the pipes, and charged the battery Next day same issue Looks like its earth / glow plugs

300tdi Was a new 1000cca Battery installed last year, i doubt the battery is knackred already (id fooked off if it was) Earths are a possibility. Can you point me to the main engine to earth terminal ?

Im having the exact same issue. 1000 cca battery, new injector lines, will check plugs using Grit Valves test. I charged the battery last night and it statrted but it was only 4.5c normally happens closer to 0c so not a reliable test

Tried the negative tip, no change. the pipes do look old but cant see any major evidence of deisel. Given they are only a few quid i may try them later today. Surely the problem wouldnt have been fixed by the battery last year if the pipes were to blame? May go investigate the charge on the battery

Anywhere good on line to buy a good set, loads on ebay for around 12 squid, but unbranded

Im having issues again this year, last year fitted a 1000 battery and that seemed to have fixed it, but this year its back to the same problem. Tried a few pre glows, but still nowt. May try the negative lead thing. Any other tips ?

same here doesnt leak if i park nose uphill for some reason

tried looking for the drain holes. They must be bunged up as I cant even see them Anyone got a pic of them ??

Most round here have right posh rangies etc with little john deere things to run about on the farm in or gert big tracters

I struggle to get RAVE working properly on my windows machine (apart from it being a random collection of PDFs) I do use Ubuntu, but havent tried it on there. Would be good to get it useable on an Android Tablet tho...for use on the drive etc

So did you guys take the windows etc out or just mask it off Mines already the metallic green so it probably a little more forgiving if I miss tiny bits, but its suffered from the same fading as the OP, so its a distinct possibility Did my old T25 VW and it worked a treat (got that colour...

May seem like a silly question but do u mix the oil with hard or liquid paraffin?

Could the 5050 be applied with a brush effectively ? I dont have a compressor and spray gun and dont mind getting dirty
