  1. Amazing compression and rebound damping control.
  2. If it’s possible to replicate only on the new battery that seems conclusive doesn’t it? Internal issue / poor cranking amps?
  3. Glad to hear it’s fixed. Gerard’s a helpful guy, especially if an original part type is your preferred option.
  4. If your car was originally supplied in the UK it should be resolvable based on documentation. For cars not originally UK supplied DVLA may apply their own first registration date of 31st December in the given year, regardless of supporting documentation to the contrary.
  5. Chris, I think if its the same as the other dash bulbs it will be BA7S / 281 or often just called “peanut” bulb, but double check.
  6. Thanks for the help, now sorted.
  7. I’ve an old watch that needs some tlc and finding someone interested in helping is proving harder than you might think. Plenty of options when you look around, but I just wondered if anyone might be able to offer a recommendation rather than potentially taking a chance?
  8. Like many of us I chased one of intermittent start gremlins around for a while. For diagnosis it can be helpful leaving a temporary set of leads at different connections in turn (the starter particularly), run inside the cabin for hooking up to a meter to understand the volts at different points as and when it doesn’t crank. As a get out of jail card if it is a starter motor issue and it doesn’t crank wedge yourself in one of the open doors and rock the car back and forth a few times whilst in gear, then you may find it does crank afterwards.
  9. My spider senses are telling me there’s a graph coming.
  10. I was also unable at the Post Office, although on that occasion I had a suspicion it might have been because the car was originally German market / imported. Ended up sending everything off in the post as per Chris’ post above.
  11. I wonder if Kroon might be able to help you with that?
  12. Search battery vent tube on ebay or Amazon, they’re available including the small plastic elbow that pushes into the breather hole in the battery casing.
