Sad but sexy switch setup

[POPEYE]

Nope, but I have finally picked up a beefier pair of SLA's today. Been waiting yonks
for the original batteries to die so that I had a legitimate excuse for replacing them.

How much were your's Matt (if you dont mind me asking) I (well , my wife) paid £121 odd the pair from toyota dealer which i did'nt think was too bad, Three year garantee and a little green light thing on em, (charge state),
Spins over like a top now

£40+VAT each. £94-00 in total for the pair. Got these from the local auto electrical
geniuses. Not sure what type they are yet. Still packed up in the back of the Surf.
Started peeing it down when I was going to fit them earlier, so left it 'til tomorrow.
Been wanting to change them practically since getting the Surf. I know the top up
types supposedly have a longer life expectancy, but after having so many battery
trays replaced in previous vehicles, I prefer batts where the acid is sealed in.
Two year warranty on these ones, so you did nicely getting a three year warranty.

Had a bugger of a time out on calls today. Had to jumpstart the Surf before I could
set off, then rearrange the order of the calls so that the one furthest away was the
first one I went to, just to try and get as much charge in the battery as quickly as
possible. Even then, she was close to not starting up when I came back out.
These things are sent to test us.

HeHe yeah! i've been running on one old original and a small serria batt for about 6 months, did quite well concidering, but i had to boost em once a week, something always come up to take the money she was going to buy the batterys with,

[MattF]

Aye, just when you think of getting something, there's always another bill needs
paying. See what you meant about the turnover being quicker. The starter
motor has never turned over this fast from the first day I got her.

God, I'm sad. Really gonna have to get out more.

Quick! Somebody please introduce this lad to beer and women before he becomes a physicist!

[mark g8awo]

I think he`s beyond saving


Call a vet instead

[MattF]

Yup, well past any point of redemption. Just to prove it, I'll post a pic of what
happened to the glove compartment later.

A TOILET CONVERSION maybe

[MattF]

Sorry Ian, got a tad sidetracked. I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Nah, it just is $hite, but not for doing it in.

[POPEYE]

A nice en suite would be handy, better than a shovel and bog roll

Nope. Scares the cr@p out of the wife though, trying to remember
which does what. Far better entertainment.

BTW, I'll make sure I take a pic of that glovebox, as well. Knew I'd forgotten
something.

[MattF]

Been threatening to do it for a while, but here's the pic of what used to be
the glovebox.

And here's a pic of the gauges, (location and mounting idea nicked from Ian ).
