Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to owning a Surf. So far it's been interesting, I never went out with the aim of owning one - just kinda ended up that way - but so far it's been really good. Loving the grunty motor and smooth shifting auto box!
I have a 1996, 3rd Gen SSR-X. It's a narrow-bodied variety, and from the research I've done so far I have deduced:
1. It's more or less standard (15" rims and running 215/80R15 tyres)
2. It doesn't have the 'winter pack' (single battery only).
Errrrr.....and that's about it really!
Firstly - can anyone tell me what this is on the dashboard, next to the rear window switch? It looks like it's in some way connected to the immobiliser, the keyfob has two contact points that look like they mate up to it. Does it charge or synchronise the fob?
Secondly, My (single) battery struggled a tad to crank over the engine this morning. It was cold, quite a nip in the air. I've checked the spec of it - 550CCA and 65Ah. The local Halfords seems to think I need HB334 - one of the biggest they do. This is also listed for a Landcruiser Colorado and a 4Runner so seems like a logical. Can anyone recommend an alternative? The dimensions indicate it will fit in the battery tray and the terminals are the right way round for the leads........
Anyway hello, and thanks in advance
