thanks but that would also drain both batteries when parked up.

A couple of hours will be fine.

Thanks The manual states 46 watts and 3.8A. There's not a lot of room in the back of FL1 hence why I'm looking at small battery.

Hi I'm looking for a easy way to be able to power a small 8L 12v cool box when parked up. A full split charge seems a bit over kill & solar is crazy expensive I'm thinking about fitting a small battery, (maybe a motorbike battery) and connecting that up to a switched 12v supply in the boot...

Replacing the clock spring is next on my list of things to try, just need to find one at a sensible price. I don't have CC so swapping wires could be an option.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried 2 sets of controls, both the same. How did you modify the resistance?

Hi I recently fitted a new steering wheel with the audio controls, the volume and skip buttons behave very strangely, they will either change the frequency or load a CD or change frequency, they don’t control the volume or skip as they should. Someone suggested something about the white mark in...

I did that and this was the first thing that came up

I have and couldn’t find anything hence the question here.

Has anyone fitted a K&N air filter, worth doing? I see they are approx. £60 so just wanted to see if it's worth it. ta

I had my '04 TD4 re-gassed and it worked for a few weeks but then stopped, I got a speacilst aircon mobile guy out and he pumped it full of nitrogen and had a sniffer wand that found a tiny hole in the condensor, I fitted a new one and again it worked for a while and then stopped, I got the AC...

This is sitting in a friends field, he's a horder, is it worth even asking him if he'd sell this 1957 88? What Series is this? Is it worth restoring? Could be a good project, what is it worth like this and what could it be worth if restored? Last taxed in 1980, 2.2 diesel. There a bunch of bits...

I swapped them over and the car is much quieter now, even my wife has noticed.

When the ambient temp is 5c it's impossible to know if the aircon is cooling the air as it's already cold. New pollen filter recently fitted.

on idle, I turn on AC, no change in RPM, nothing at all, it used to drop slightly and then recover to normal idle, not anymore.

Thanks, interesting info, I didn't know about the window setting and never noticed that, this is a FL1, are you sure that happens? The key question is, why don't I noticed the extra load on the engine like I used to? I would always notice a significant performance lack with the AC turned on due...

Hi 2004 TD4 In an attempt to get my A/C working, I've had a new condenser fitted as it had a small leak, once it was working there was a noticeable load on the engine when the A/C was turned on (normal) and a slight belt squeak for the compressor which told me it was working. After a few weeks...

I took it to a FL specialist and he couldn't find anything obvious but there was some slight up and down play in the rear O/S drive shaft so he fitted a new one, so far so good.

Approx. 16k miles ago I fitted 4 new Hankook Dynapro ATM tyres, I think they've got noisier over time and someone did say that with wear they can get noisier and my local garage ran his hands over the tread and said "yep, noisy tyres". My questions is, has anyone had this and swapped them with...

4 new tyres a year ago, recon Bell Engineering VCU.
