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.
