[Grizz1963]

So when I was wanting to test the new Switchback LED lamps, I found that not having driven the truck for the last 10 days or more, the battery was almost dead.

Interestingly, dash lights came on, ignition made a Krrrrrrr ! Sound, and ultimately after fetching a second set of jumper leads, as the first fancy set were not able to bite the terminals, I got it jump started from the company car.

This resulted in a new 75-60 battery for £79.00 after a 10% discount.

Note the side terminals, so no throwing just any battery in there.

I have no time for tired, dead or lazy batteries, so replacing was the only way.

48 hr delivery will be good to see.



While I am still waiting for the shop to call back about the push fit fittings I ordered two Fridays ago for the side repeaters, I decided screw that, and found some on EBay that should be here by 08 February.

Then I can wrap that job up too.

In retrospect, should maybe have gone there first, but I do like supporting local business.

Cheap enough.



That’s it for now.
